Choice Filter not working in web form

BenBaker1 — Mon, 12 Sep 2022 19:23:57 GMT

I found something interesting and I'm curious if this is a know issue, or if I may have some other issue.

I created a choice filter in Survey123 Connect for a survey that allows citizens to submit non-emergency requests to our city. The form worked fine in testing, but when I published it to AGO and opened the web form, I noticed Request Categories ("Fire Safety", "Parks and Recreation") would not show any Request Types in the subsequent question. However, when I shortened these categories to "Fire" and "Parks", the web form worked as expected. Is this a bug, or will choice filters only work with values that do not spaces?

@BenBaker1 My belief is it is a limitation but I was not able to reproduce the issue with a test survey. Do you mind sharing the xlsx that just includes the questions and choice list so we can reproduce. Thanks

Attached is a pared down version of the xls form that I used to publish the one that would not work.

Hi @BenBaker1 I still cannot recreate your issue.

Would you mind confirming the version of Survey123 Connect you are using, and upgrade if it is not the latest (3.15.178)

Thanks

That may have been the issue. The version I published the survey with was 3.12.232.

@Richard_Purkis I'm having the same issue as Ben so will try the upgrade as well. Are you confirming though that a choice filter should work fine in the web form?

Hi @CandiceBardsley1

Yes the choice filter works as expected at the latest version

Hope this helps
