ArcGIS Survey 123 - Single select grid validation rule issues

[MUrban]

I am doing a tutorial from My Learning in the training section to create a survey for wildlife sightings, and it says to use the Single select grid, where you can put a preset row with numbers of animals in a grid. It's saying to use validation, but when I do this, and I take the survey as a user would, it's telling me that I have to select something in every row, which of course is not correct.  

Thanks,

Mary

@MUrban Are you using the Web interface or Connect.  If you are using Connect you can control if individual questions are required or not.  In the web interface, you can only set if the table group is required or not, meaning that every question in the table is either required or not.  To get around this you could add a 4th option of 0 or none to the list, users would have to answer every question but could indicate they saw none.

I am not using Connect, I am using the web-based Survey123, and am following a tutorial that is in the ESRI training.  It's strange that they didn't test out this tutorial - I would think it's a hassle to the hypothetical survey taker to have to fill out all the rows if they wanted to report just one animal encounter. Wouldn't it be better to maybe use two separate dropdowns and not use the single select grid? You could list the animals in one and another for the number? Thanks.
