Several multiple-choice answer for the same field

Post by Gillesbop »

Hello everybody !

*My problem*
please, I have an application in the design and in the questionnaire, there is a variable that can take 2 answers.

*my question*
How should I arrange field of the response in applying for this answer?

* Case study *
Here's the question:
What is your source of income?
1 = trade; 2 = breeder; 3 = employee; 4 = bricklayer; 5 = Agriculture; 6 = Manager; 7 = own account; 8 = other specify.

The answer may be the 1 and the 2 while in the pplication of CSPro, the answer field can take only one value.

So how to solve this problem in the application?
Thank you for your help.

You can use a checkbox field capture type for this. Make your field a length 2 alpha with a value set that includes your answers (1 through eight) and set the capture type in the field properties dialog to checkbox. Since the field is length 2 the user will only be able to choose 2 answers.
