Dynamic drop-down list, data validation

doronwen — Mon, 05 Jun 2023 15:06:15 GMT

I’d like to create a dynamic list (for lack of better term). Here’s an example:
I have two regions: 1 and 2.
I have 10 buildings: A, B, C etc.
Buildings A to E are part of Region 1. Buildings F to J are part of Region 2.
I have two drop-down lists: Regions and Buildings.

When users select Region 1, I’d like the “Buildings” drop-down to have only building A to E available to be selected. When users select Region 2, I’d like the “Buildings” drop-down to have only building F to J available to be selected.

That will help with the data validation and error catching process. I’m not sure if that functionality exists in Survey 123 Connect.

Thank you!
