How to get the name of a place given a location string xls form

AlejandroMadrigal — Tue, 09 Feb 2021 22:55:51 GMT

HI!

When you calculate a location from a choice list, you get, at the data base, a string of coordinates, but not the name of the chosen place.

I cannot find an expression to simply get the name of the chosen location at the database results, without (for instance) repeating the question with another choice list.

Any sugestions?

Thanks a lot!!

Hi Alejandro,

It sounds like you need to use the jr:choice-name() function to store the label of a selected item in your target feature layer instead of the name. Please take a look at the jr:choice-name section of the following blog for more details:

Hope this helps,
