Hi all,
Our team is working on setting up a CommCare application for Home Based HIV
testing, and have come up with a technical question we are struggling with.
For this application, clients are tested at their homes, and we provide the
option for couples to be tested together. In instances when a couple is
tested together, they will always be listed in the same household, even if
they are not both resident there. In cases where a couple is tested
together, we would like to be able to link their records in CommCare in
some way, so that we can be confident of the number of couples tested that
we report, and avoid any overcounting/double-counting.
Ideally, what we would like to do, is when the ‘tested as a couple’ option
is selected, provide our staff member with a drop-down list of names/UIDs
of all other individuals registered in the same household. If household
were saved as a case property for all individuals registered in a
household, would it be possible to do this? We've been able to get a
dropdown menu of all registered individuals to show up, but we are not
sure how to limit this by individuals in a particular household (or if this
is even possible).
Any suggestions?
Many thanks!
Julia
Hi Julia
Have you had any response to this? If not I'll reach out to a few people on
Monday and see what the solution is.
It is definitely possible to filter the list of cases by case type and by
closed status and I'm pretty sure you can add a filter that will filter by
any other car property as well except that I think the performance on the
phone will probably be poor.
Anyway, I'll get back to you on Monday with a more concrete answer.

Hi Julia
I got an email regarding your question this morning and my initial thought
was correct that you can just add a filter expression to your casedb query.
With reference to this page on the wiki
https://confluence.dimagi.com/display/commcarepublic/Multiple+Choice+Questions+with+Cases+as+Choices
you
would have to add the following to your form XML (by editing the XML
manually):
Where the wiki page shows this line:
You can adjust it to include your case property query as follows:
Assuming that the case property is called 'household' and the the name of
the household you are searching against is in the form property
'/data/selected_household'.
Let me know if you have any trouble getting that to work.
Best regards
Simon
