Hello everyone. I have a question about using “Branch” groups in Epicollect5 and whether it’s possible to work with them dynamically. Currently, I have set up a “Branch” group called “PRODUCTOR” where I’ve created a field named “tipoIdentificacionEncuestador” to capture the identification of the person filling out the form.
My question is: if I fill out this field in the first “Branch” group, is it possible for this value to automatically display in another subsequent “Branch” group? For example, if I have a second “Branch” group called “SECTOR,” can I configure a field within “SECTOR” to automatically retrieve the value entered in “tipoIdentificacionEncuestador” without requiring the user to re-enter it?
Thanks in advance for the help.
Regrettably, the functionality you’re inquiring about is presently unavailable in Epicollect5.
Anyway, if the user already entered a value for “tipoIdentificacionEncuestador” once, there should be no need to ask for it again.
If the tipoIdentificacionEncuestador value has already been entered once, you can structure the forms to ensure that it is only required a single time. This approach could prevent redundant input requests, enhancing usability by allowing the value to persist without needing repeated entry.
If you need to show a value previously entered just for reference, consider the use of a child form instead of a branch for SECTOR and setting tipoIdentificacionEncuestador as title, but place it in your parent form instead of the PRODUCTION branch.
This way, every time a SECTOR entry is added, the app will show the related tipoIdentificacionEncuestador value at the top, next to the form name.
