Why doesn't choice filter work for select_multiple?

[JamieKelly1]

I have a select_multiple in my form so a user can select all of the ongoing activities at an inspection site.  A previous question asks the user what type of construction is taking place 1 thru 7.  For each type I want to have a filtered list of activities so our users would not have to scroll through the list of all possible activities, but only the ones that could be taking place for the selected type of construction.

Choice filter works fine for select_one, I was surprised when it didn't work for select_multiple.  Are there plans to implement this in the future?

Hi Jamie,

We have had a few other requests for select_multiples to control cascading selects, so that enhancement is on our radar.  I don't know if it would work in your case, but some other users have worked around it in a similar circumstance with a set of questions (one for each choice) that are relevant when the controlling issue is selected.

My work around came from another post suggesting creating a select_multiple question for each choice in the previous list and make each one relevant accordingly.  Then concatenate all select_multiple answers, in a calculation for a text question (I used hidden).
