Hello,

I am new to Survey123 using Survey123 Connect. I have a number field (Single) where it is only appropriate to enter data in increments of 0.5. Instead of entering a number, I would like a drop down menu to appear with the following options: 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.5, 6.

Is it possible to do this with a number field? The field data type can not be changed at this time.

Please recommend comprehensive resources, I'm new to this 🙂

Can you use a "Select_one"? Having your defined responses be selections?

You can get a dropdown menu using the autocomplete appearance with select_one or select_multiple question types. By default, these question types are text, but you can use the bind::esri:fieldType column of the XLS form to force it to be a number type and it should let you convert without losing existing data.

Hope that helps!

Best,
Katie
