External Tab selection wont show up

Hi Everyone,

So I'm trying to display my options from my external choices tab and they are simply not showing up. When I launch the survey, the drop down is empty. Please see the attachments to see if I did anything wrong.

Hi @LuisGarcia6 just to double-check, is the choice filter expression in the choice_filter column?

If possible, could you please share your XLSForm so I can take a closer look?

Best, Jim

Hi Jim. So yes, the expression is under the 'choice_Fflter' column. And yeah, I do not think I could share the file with you 😅

Thanks @LuisGarcia6 a couple of things to check:

How is the ${SystemFilter} question set up? Is this a select_one? If so, do the names for its choice list match exactly what's in the FILTER column? Note that choices for the Circuit question won't appear until a filter condition is satisfied.
Are the external choices on a sheet named "external_choices" (with underscore)?

Also the Survey123 Tricks of the Trade: Choice Filters blog post contains lots of useful info for reference.

Best, Jim
