Hide an answer in a repeat question based on previous answer

LeonardBarnhill — Thu, 17 Dec 2020 17:24:00 GMT

Survey123 Connect version 3.12.183 - I have a form with multiple repeat sections. I would like to hide the previously selected choice from the select_multiple list. For example:

Select Pipe Inspected

Pipe 1

Pipe 2

Pipe 3

On next run of repeat section, I would like the option used in the first repeat to be hidden from the user. In this example, the used selected Pipe 1 in the previous repeat:

Select Pipe Inspected:

Pipe 2

Pipe 3

How could that be accomplished?

See these posts. You can check for a value being used again but you cannot take it off the list.

Thanks for responding to this question Doug but none of the proposed solutions has worked for me. The challenge is that each pipe number selection is in a subsequent repeat so referring the choice filter to "state=${state_1}" does no good in repeats since the question does not appear to look at what was selected in previous repeats. Other suggestions?

It sounded like these were 2 questions not 3 repeats. Check out this post then https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-survey123-questions/restricting-duplicates-for-a-field-during-repeats/m-p/738127

There is a way to do it by building a string with join then checking to see if it is listed already. The other uses javascript. I cant use javascript since I go across AGOL orgs.

Hope that helps.
