Hello,
Is it possible to have certain questions automatically be answered when
skipped? For example, when I select Q1.2 as 'No', then questions 1.3-1.7
are skipped and not displayed. I would like for all these questions to be
skipped, but also answered as 'No' (value =1). I believe I can do this with
an IF statement, but unsure of where that IF statement should live.
Also, when using case sharing, is it possible to move to the next form when
you come to the end of a form, rather than going back to the home screen,
selecting the client and new form. For example, when coming to the end of a
form, there would be an option, 'Save Form and continue to next section' in
addition to 'Save form and exit'.
Thank you,
Kira
Hi Kira,
When you skip a question (because its display condition is not met), its
value will be empty text (which is represented by two quotation marks: '').
I believe there are workarounds you can use, but to make sure I walk
through the best one, can you explain a bit more about why you want the
value to be no - e.g. is it so that "no" appears in exports or in reports
on CommCareHQ, or because you want the value to be considered as "no" when
it is used in display conditions for other questions?
Thanks,
Amelia

Hi Amelia,
Thanks for following up. I would like the value to be 'no' when skipped, so
that the value (1) appears in exports and reports on CommCareHQ.

Hi Kira,
Thanks for that information. The easiest way to do this involves putting an
if statement in the calculate of a the "hidden value" question type, but it
will only work if there are not too many questions that need to default to
no. Can you let me know the order of magnitude of questions in your form
that are like this? E.g. a few, a dozen, tens, a hundred?
Thanks,
Amelia

OK great! Here's the workaround I would suggest:
Let's use as an example a question with the id "question1"
- Create a hidden value, for example named "question1_value"
- In the calculate of question1_value, write: if(/data/question1 = '',
'no', /data/question1)
- When looking at data in reports and exports, make sure you look at
question1_value instead of question1. To make this more clear to users, you
might want to name question1 something like "question1_intermediary" and
not include it in custom exports.
Do this for each of the 10 questions.
I hope this helps - let me know if you have any questions
Thanks,
Amelia

Hi Amelia,
Thanks for this. This is great, although I anticipate difficulty in
recreating the export when skips are executed. Is there a way to 'load' the
hidden value back into 'question 1' so that in exports and reports, the
question1 field will be populated with a value even if it is skipped?
Alternatively, I could build the logic in the excel report to read blanks
for question1 as '1'.
Also, in regards to my second question in the first email, is it possible
to move to the next form when you come to the end of a form, rather than
going back to the home screen, selecting the client and new form. For
example, when coming to the end of a form, there would be an option, 'Save
Form and continue to next section' in addition to 'Save form and exit'.
Thanks again for all your help!

Hi Kira,
question1_value will be 'no' if the question is skipped, and otherwise will
take the value of question1. So you can always just look at question1_value
instead of question1. However, building logic into the excel export to
automatically change question1 to 'no' if it has been skipped wlil work as
well! Questions that have been skipped are shown as "--" in exports.
Sorry for not answering your other question the first time! It is not
currnetly possible to move automatically to the next form rather than going
back to the home screen. However, the ability to automatically navigate to
locations in your app other than the home screen is something that is on
our roadmap.
Thanks,
Amelia
