This feature requires a software plan

Full access to this feature is only available for projects on a Standard software plan or higher. For more information, see https://www.commcarehq.org/pricing/

Step 1: Turn on the Feature Preview

 

Inside your form, you want to display existing cases in a checklist or single select question.  To do this, you need to turn on a Feature Preview called "Custom Single and Multiple Answer Questions".  This allows you to display custom choice lists in forms (i.e. a list of case sharing groups) instead of just items from a Lookup Table.

  1. Go to your project settings (from the Settings wheel on the top right corner of the screen)
  2. Choose Feature Previews from the choices on left side
  3. Turn on the "Custom Single and Multiple Answer Questions" feature preview and then click on Update Previews

Step 2: Configure Your Form

  1. In your form, add a new Checkbox Lookup Table question
  2. Choose the Lookup Table Data item below the added question to configure the data that will be displayed in the question.  Choose the (...) button and enter the following:
    1. Set the query expression to instance('casedb')/casedb/case[@case_type='your_type']  (Replacing your_type with the case type you want to display)
    2. Set instance ID to casedb
    3. Set the Instance URI to jr://instance/casedb 
    4. Hit the Save button
    5. Set the value to @case_id 
    6. Set the label to case_name 




 

Variations

  • If you would like to restrict the cases shown to be only child cases of the chosen case which you are updating you can add the following to the end of the query: [index/parent = instance('commcaresession')/session/data/case_id]
  • If you would like to restrict the cases shown to be only open cases you can add the following to the end of the query: [@status='open']

 

  • No labels
