How to detect the selection of an item in a list?

vocono1953 — Wed, 02 Nov 2022 15:57:17 GMT

Is it possible to detect in real-time when a list item is selected, so the relevant list is displayed.

Thank you for any help you may give.

the selected() formula can be used in the relevant column to accomplish this.

if the question is for a select multiples, you can use the selected function in combination : selected(${SelectTask}, 'Plant') or selected(${SelectTask}, 'Prune'). You can also use the regex() regex(${SelectTask}, 'Prune') more info here: https://doc.arcgis.com/en/survey123/desktop/create-surveys/xlsformformulas.htm#ESRI_SECTION2_BED1A394912441F3833B6D15DE3D6FB5

Thanks to both of you. It turned out that the enumeration value for "Plant" was needed to make this work.

So, it turned that ${list_task}=9 worked.

Thanks again.

Glad it works...FYI. if the question is passing "9" as value that will be the value for the record capture on the survey table. If you want the actual "Task" type to be capture, you have to change the name or for the list or use another field to capture the label using calculate field. jr:choice-name(${fieldname}, '${fieldname}')
