Unable to map the PHC hierarchy hospitals into a dropdown

[binod]

Hi @Ramu,

state → district → district_hospital → community_health_center → primary_health_center → health_and_wellness_center → village

A restricted (offline) user who logs in at village level will not have access to Primary health centers created above their hierarchy. I am not aware of any supported method of dynamically populating the dropdown list using CHT in this case.

Is hardcoded choice list an option here?

Here is a forum topic about loading a large number of choices:

Select choice question type with a lot of choices

I have a select_one question type with a lot of choices (16k plus) to select (with choice_filter of course : ). cht-conf times out while trying to validate the contact form (works on my local container but takes like 13 minutes, fails completely on my server enviroment). Is there any workaround around this. Also does the core framework support attaching an external choices csv of xml file like ODK does using the command select_one_from_file choices.csv? I’ve tried with no joy.

@jkuester had shared there that loading choices from CSV was not supported in CHT. I don’t think we have added support for it, but could there be another way to achieve this?

Update: I see that loading choices from external dataset (XML, and possibly CSV in the future) is a work in progress in cht-core:
