Validation for multi-selection

Hi, I have a question regarding validation rules for multi-select.

I would like to use the 'not select' logic to make sure that participants
cannot select* 'don't know' and another answer* AND 'refuse to answer' and
another answer
. I have successfully used not(selected(., '999') and
count-selected(.) > 1), but don't know how to add in the 'refuse to answer'
(666) within the function. Thank you for your help!

What activity have you participated in? (SELECT ALL THAT APPLY).

Refuse to answer……………………………666

Hi Emily,

I think adding an 'or' statement will do what you're looking for, IE:

not(selected(., '999') or selected(., '666') and count-selected(.) > 1)

(Note that this works because CommCare evaluates operations left to right

Hi Will,

I wanted to follow-up on the question above. I realized if I select only
'don't know', then it says the response is invalid. However, if I select
only 'refuse to answer' it works. I still want to be able to select
multiple options, just not 'don't know' and anything else and 'refuse to
answer' and anything else
together. Thoughts?

Thanks for your help!

Hey Emily,

Sorry about that - I think using parenthesis such that you have

not((selected(., '999') or selected(., '666')) and count-selected(.) > 1)

will work.

Will
