Characteristics of 'or' on Form Designer

Users

Hello All,

Please I need help, I have been on this formular for two days now. It’s a
display condition for a multi-select question: /registration/immediate_danger_sign
= 'headaches' or /registration/immediate_danger_sign = 'fever' or
/registration/immediate_danger_sign = 'joint_pain' or
/registration/immediate_danger_sign = 'vomiting'

It does not work the way I want it to: selecting any one of the options, it
displays correctly, but selecting two or more, it does not display. Just
wondering if this is an error with the Form-Designer or am I missing
something out.

Thank you

you should use:

selected(/registration/immediate_danger_sign, 'headaches')
or selected(/registration/immediate_danger_sign, 'fever)
or selected(/registration/immediate_danger_sign, joint_pain') etc.

i.e the 'selected' function checks if the answer to a multi-select contains
the given choice
