Hi,
I am using Commcare on android. I would like to ask mother's their date of
birth however they often don't remember the exact day, so I would like to
just ask them the year and month.
Using the ODK instructions I have tried changing the source XML under input
so that it just displays month and year, however it didnt work.
Please advise??
Many thanks
Natasha
Natasha,
Unfortunately we don't support a native data type or entry method for a
"fuzzy" date.
You'll have to ask for a numeric entry for the year, and probably use a
List Select for the month.
You can the construct a date in a calculate node by concatenating the
relevant quantities.
IE:
date(concat(/data/year, '-', /data/month, '-01'))
