Hello,

I'm creating a survey for wildlife data collection. I'm using the "select_one list_name" type question. The survey functions normally within the connect app viewer and online app. However, when I review the submitted data, the "select_one list_name" questions only record the first option within the "choices" tab. 

Has anyone else run into this error? How can I go about fixing it?

You are putting the list name in the name column.  This should be the text that will be stored instead.

It works like

list_name    name                     label

list_name   TextStoredInDB   UserFriendlyText

Thanks for the response. I differentiated the list_names and names, but I still get the same error. It defaults to the first choice on every select_one list_name question.

The list name is the name of the LIST

The name and label are the CHOICE.

Choices store both a coded value (name) and description (label).

If you copy C2:100 into b2:100 it'll work.

Should be:

  • List, name, label
  • Species, oak, Oak Tree
  • Species, gum, Gum Tree
  • Rainfall, 0, 0
  • Rainfall, 1, 1

You do this in the choices tab.  Again its List Name, Data stored text, Friendly text
