Survey123 Feature report, conditional check if field is blank

Question

Hello,

I was trying to create a feature report where if data was not added to a field then it returned a standard string of text. however it looks like the use of "" is not allowed?

Currently the expression i have is:

${if equipment_name == “”}No Controlled field equipment used${/}

However this comes up with the error: Error: Failed to parse ${ ghd_personel == /“”}.

Does anyone know how to check if data is present in a field?

Thanks

Charles

Hi James,

I have tried the above syntax but i am not getting the results i expect using ${if fieldname==""}...${/} and wondering if this is only true for text questions? I am trying it with select_one and select_multiple to get it to return set text if nothing is selected but it doesnt appear to work

Thanks

Chris

Hi Joe,

Yes, it should be possible with the syntax Charles presented in his question.
