I love the functionality of external_choices. It has greatly improved the performance of surveys.

But, I have noticed that surveys with large external choices only work in the field app. I haven't been able to get these to work on a browser.

Any solutions?

HI Tjeerd

This is by design. If you apply a choice filter to the choice list, then Connect will not create domains for the list items.

This is because choice lists in this situation tend to be very long and a creating a domain for each item would be difficult to manage. To work around this you will need make your name values more descriptive.

Alternatively you could use the pulldata() function to perform a lookup on the name and return the label - and then store the label in a separate field. To do this you would need to create a .csv to form the basis of the lookup.

Thanks

Thanks for your answer!

I think the alternative option is a good one,but I don't know how to do it. Do you have an example of it?

What's in the .csv then?

I hope you can help me!

Thanks

Tjeerd
