@ZenMasterZeke  I have the survey set to pages dynamic-grid and the groups do not have any override because I want them to remain dynamic-grid.  It is very odd that this is occurring. ... View more

I sent you a DM with the XLSForm.  Thank you for looking into this. ... View more

I would like to upvote this because I would like to have borders on some questions within a theme-grid.  Sometimes adding borders gives a sharper look.  With that being said, read below. I discovered a workaround by accident and have started using this method in all my surveys.  I thought I would share this in case anyone else would like to use it.  I set my surveys to pages only, being my surveys consist of several pages.  Then I assign an appearance of w2, w3, etc... to groups I want to have more than one column.  No borders are seen anywhere unless I want one.  Then I just set borderColor="black" or whatever. I would like to add that fields within these groups with more than one column will always be w1.  For example, if you set a group to w2 and want the question to use up the entire w2 width, it will not.  It will remain w1.  So one will need to be creative when working this way. Here is an example of one of my groups set to w2.  Notice no borders. This is an example of a group set to w2 with nested groups with borders. I apologize if this method has been known, I just wanted to provide a workaround that may not have been known. ... View more

Hello I would like to inquire if the priority has been increased for this issue.  I recently have been trying to use a dynamic placeholderText=@[hint] and the lightbulb still appears as if I have a guidance_hint entered.  Thank you. ... View more

Hi @ZacharySutherby  I misspoke when I said it killed my forms, but does cause a minor inconvenience.  I did further testing with one of the other developers in my group and have determined that it is specific to fields that have a calculation and a relevancy assigned to it.  I believe this was an issue in the past and appears to have come back?   The fields in question are on rows 290 & 291, make_va & model_va respectively.  We have determined that I can remove those calculations and the information will save in drafts.  My simplest solution in this case is to just remove those calculations and all will be well.  I have not tested other surveys I have created, just this one, which is used the most.  I can only assume the others that have the same setup will have the same result. So as you can see, not as dire as I had made in my original post.  The latest update did change something though, being that these fields worked as intended when saved in drafts.  I specifically tested on another's Android tablet that had not been updated to the latest version of S123.  He was using Version 3.13.244.  I answered the questions mentioned above, saved in drafts, opened again to see the answers still there.  I updated S123 to Version 3.14.237 and the answers were gone.   Hopefully this bit of information helps determine the cause.  Thank you. ...

Hello @ZacharySutherby  I used the select_x_from_file method and it has solved the issue.  I will keep this in mind for my other surveys.  I do have one question regarding the 250 choices in a choice list.  Is that 250 choices total for the choices tab or 250 choices for one list of choices for a question?  I ask because none of the question lists were over 250, just the entire list of choices, as are most surveys I make.  The workaround fixed the problem, but doesn't make sense why if none of the question lists were over 250 items. I am wondering if having blank rows between choice lists makes a difference.  I did not have them between lists, but do now for the remaining choice lists on the choices tab.  As it stands, minus blank rows, I have 260 different items on the choices tab.  None of them are numbers like I had before.  Maybe that's the difference?  Each of my number choice lists did have one text entry too. I apologize for the extra questions, I am just trying to wrap my head around this so I do not do it again, as well as help others who may be having the same question in the future.  Thank you. ...

Hello @ZacharySutherby  I will go the external csv route to see if it addresses the issue and report back.  Thank you for the response. Bill ... View more

@DougBrowning  The solution works great but I have run into a snag and am wondering if you may have an idea of why it is doing what it is doing. The numbers to which I was referring are several lists of decimals. Having one just type in the numbers is not an option because the decimal has to be exact for an external lookup in a csv file. That csv file is derived from an engineering book with complex calculations. Forcing a set list from that book removes errors and complications. The problem that exists when I choose a value that has 3 decimals. For example, 2.625, or 2 5/8. If in my first select_one repeat I choose 2.5, 2.625, and 3, the join(",",${name}) works flawlessly, giving me said choices. But under the next select_one question, my list will have 2.5, 2.625, 3, and 6.5. What I have gathered is that the regex(${name}, name) is taking that .625 and recognizing it as 6.5. It happens with .375 and .875 as well, adding 3.5 and 8.5 respectively. See images below.   Is there any explanation as to why it is being recognized as such?  Am I screwed? Thanks. ... View more

@DougBrowning Thank you very much for your suggestion.  It does exactly what I need it to do.  Yes, I figured it sounded weird to use the same values that were already chosen, but makes sense with how this survey is setup. ... View more
