hi sheel shah,
Thanks for your earlier reply.I am medical officer
working in public health department and I am new to this mobile health
related area.Naturally , it's little bit confusing.
I tried for the cascading select options
from formhub.I replaced the itextid with item-label.But the labels are
missing.May i get clarified the following things what you mentioned in
your reply:

  • Update the instance block - remove the itextid node, and replace it with
    something like item-label. Then change the node's value to be the label
    you want displayed
  • Update the itemset block so that the label node directly displayed the
    item-label instead of displaying it as itext

Hi,

Its a bit of manual work, but you can setup cascading select options in
CommCare using Conditional Select Options (
Lookup Tables - CommCare Public - CommCare Public).

Alternatively, its also possible to use the cascading select items from a
formhub form in CommCare. However you will need to update the form so that
itext is not used for each displayed choice:

  • Update the instance block - remove the itextid node, and replace it with
    something like item-label. Then change the node's value to be the label
    you want displayed
  • Update the itemset block so that the label node directly displayed the
    item-label instead of displaying it as itext

Thanks,
Sheel
