Validation Conditions for one choice

Hi all, I would really appreciate your help on this!

I want to create a validation condition if ONE choice is made depending on
an answer to a previous question.

E.g. If someone chooses child in one section, however in the previous
question they stated the age of the beneficiary to be over 18, I want to
stop them being able to make that choice with a message confirming why.

Can you make separate validation conditions (with separate messages) for
different choices?

Thanks,

Heidi

Hi Heidi,

Just tried it on a test application:

First question
Type: Integer
ID: age

Second question
Type: Single choice
Choices: Child / Adult
ID: growth_status
Validate condition: if(selected(., "child"), /data/age < 18, /data/age >= 18)

As a reminder, the dot in the "selected" refers to the current question (growth_status)

And it works: the question is not validated if 'age' does not match 'grow_status'

But if I were you I wouldn't have a growth_status question : I'd fill an hidden value according to 'age', something like:

Hidden value
ID: growth_status
Calculate Condition: if(/data/age < 18, 'child', 'adult')

Hope it helps,

Charles
