Use pulldata() to populate select_one label

I am inspecting transmission towers.  I have a simple Yes/No select_one question, but I need the label for the question to reflect the number of insulators on the tower.  I have built a pulldata csv that has my tower number and the label in it, but I can't get the label to show up.  I have tried the following in the label and calculation filed of the select_one and note question types. pulldata('BPIII_pulldata','tld_struct_no','label_phs_insul_clean_plumb',${tld_structure})

here is a sample of my CSV:

tld_struct_no,label_phs_insul_clean_plumb
1,"Correct number of insulators (3x30 dead end; 28 jumper); insulators are clean and strings plumb"
2,"Correct number of insulators (28); insulators are clean and strings are plumb"
3,"Correct number of insulators (3x30 dead end; 28 jumper); insulators are clean and strings plumb"
4,"Correct number of insulators (28); insulators are clean and strings are plumb"
5,"Correct number of insulators (28); insulators are clean and strings are plumb"
6,"Correct number of insulators (28); insulators are clean and strings are plumb"
7,"Correct number of insulators (28); insulators are clean and strings are plumb"
8,"Correct number of insulators (3x30 dead end; 28 jumper); insulators are clean and strings plumb"
9,"Correct number of insulators (28); insulators are clean and strings are plumb"

Thanks, Larry

Hi Larry,

Currently Survey123 doesn't support modifying the question label text.  You might be able to accomplish something similar with a note that is calculated using the pulldata to create something like:

Correct number of insulators (28)

Insulators are clean and strings are plumb?

Hi James,  I have been trying as you described, but I can't seem to get the pulldata to work.  I have a note question and use the pulldata syntax/csv from my original post in the calculation cell.  I have to put in a a value in the label or hint or I get an error.  When I put a value in the hint only, I get:

If I put a value in the label only, I only get the value I put in, not the calculation.

Do you see any issues in the syntax of my pulldata function or csv?  Maybe even a limitation on the names used? Quotes issues?

Thanks,

Larry

Hi Larry,

Without seeing the XLS file, it's little hard to judge if something is right or not.  I've created  quick example from your sample table to illustrate what I was thinking.

Thanks James, got your sample running... 

Can I private message you my configuration?  From your example, I had been using a text field for my structure, so I switched it to a select-one and I added the choices, but still can't get it working.  Also a select_one is not an option as

I have 3075 structures on this transmission line, not sure if that exceeds some limit.  I prepopulate the structure number passing it from collector in my final deployment.
