How to use existing data in a dropdown menu in Survey 123?

Question

Hi,

I'd like to use a dropdown menu in Survey123 and I'm wondering if it is possible to populate the dropdown with existing data as it is created?

For instance, lets say I'm in the field and respond to a Survey question titled, "Category" and I type in "Other" as "Category 2." Now, the next time I encounter Category 2, can I have the Dropdown menu include that in the defaults rather than selecting "Other" again?

Thank you

Hi Jason,

Survey123 cannot dynamically add values to a dropdown list.  There are a couple of scenarios we are looking to support in the future.
