Survey123 select_multiple with specific relevant follow up questions

LillianNix819 — Tue, 03 Mar 2026 19:24:31 GMT

I'm working on creating a Survey123 Connect form with one of the multiple selection questions being "Equipment Used" which consists of the options: handline, truck, broadjet, UTV, or backpack. I would like for a follow up question "Truck #" and "UTV #" to appear whenever Truck or UTV are selected. However, the issue I am running into is that whenever you select another Equipment Used option, the follow up question no longer appears. For example: if you select "Handline" and "Truck" then "Truck #" does not appear. Same goes for if you select "Truck" and "UTV" neither "Truck #" or "UTV #" follow up questions appear. There could be any variation/combination of equipment used.

When you use a select multiple, the answer results in a comma delimited list.

For that reason use have to use the Selected() formula instead of "=". So for instance if you want it relevant when truck is selected you would use selected(${Equipment_Used}, 'Truck'). Which would essentially look for any instance of Truck in your list.

Keep in mind you want to match the name column in your choice list and not the label.
