I have a field ${TestVar4} that I use to trigger a required_message if a certain condition is not met. The user then has to go back and make these changes before the survey is successfully submitted. The problem is that I do not know how to refresh this condition once the changes have been made. I I really do not want to use the relevant option as I want it always visible. Is there a way to refresh the calculation? I thought that maybe I could put a calculation to reset the values in ${TestVar4} in the question that has to be entered but I am not seeing how this is done. For example, they have to go back and select Yes (perhaps multiple times for multiple records) in a repeat section named ${Continue}. It would be nice if I could somehow refresh ${TestVar4} in the ${Continue} calculation column. I was thinking something like: if(${CompleteCountCal} =0, ${TestVar4} = 'Yes2',${TestVar4}=''). Is this possible? BTW, ${Continue} and ${TestVar4} are in separate groups. Using ver. 3.1.126 Connect ... View more

I want to see if I can hide a question after it has been answered. I would store the answer as a variable first.  I am having difficulty with my repeats within repeats and want to see if hiding question after it is answered will solve it. See below for issue I am seeing. https://community.esri.com/thread/225560-entry-getting-reset-on-switching-visibility-based-on-relevant-value  ... View more

I have a section in my form where I am switching between repeats based upon a value selected. There are two repeats within a repeat. For each bird sighting, the user may take multiple pictures of the bird. The photos can be on the device or made with a standalone digital camera. If the option "device" is selected the "image" option appears as a repeat via condition set in relevant. If the user selects "standalone" a text box to add the filename from the camera for later reference is displayed as a repeat. I am witnessing two problems (still testing in Connect): 1. After selecting an option (either one) I add say 3 photos and then add another bird sighting. I go to add 1 photo for this sighting, the repeat section shows 1 of 3 (retains previous photo count). I don't want it show any count initially. 2. After entering all the data, as I go back through the repeats (birds and photos) and check my values, I noticed that sometimes the data gets erased if I am switching between the "device" and "standalone" repeats between bird records. I assume it has something to do with things getting reset as I turn on and off the repeats visibility based on the relevant condition. How can I retain these values? Thanks in advance ... View more

I understand that defaults are set when you open the form and therefore you cannot base the default on the answer to a previous question; however, I am wondering how to approach the following scenario: My form has three parts, the data at the beginning of the road survey, the sightings along the route, and the data at the end of the road survey.  I open the repeat section (sightings along the route) if a sighting has occurred, otherwise skip that section and proceed with the ending section. I want the default number of birds sighted at a given coordinate set to 1 if the question about whether a sighting has occurred along the route is "Yes", otherwise the default is 0 - since it seems there is always one record uploaded in the repeat section, even if no data was entered (sighting occurred along the route is "No") I would like to have this set to zero if NO information was to added to this "record". Putting this "If equation" in the calculation field did not work as the number of sightings at that location could equal more than 1 (just not very often) and the calculation would always set number of birds sighted at that location back to 1.  Thus far I do not see a way to set things up like the way I would like so I am simply making the default set to one and forgetting the conditional statement. Am I correct in assuming this can't be set up to work the way I want? ... View more

On my Choices tab I need to have the labels a concatenation of two fields, the route name and routeID as this is what the user needs to see on the pulldown menu of the entry form. The name column consists of the routeID, which is what I would like submitted, not the label, as it is the unique ID. This is not usually the case however, since most of my values in the choices tab are better reflected in labels column as spaces are allowed. I got around this limitation on the survey tab by using the alias column. Do we have anything like that for the Choices tab? Values in the master database for sky conditions are in the labels column list_name name label endsky Clear Clear endsky Foggy Foggy endsky PartCloudy Part Cloudy Values in the master database are in the name column RouteID 3 3 - Wells to Jackpot RouteID 4 4 - Wells to Spruce Mountain Do I have any control as to which column of data gets submitted or do I have to write python scripts to format my data after submission prior to importing into master database? ...
