Automatic field entry

Hello list, I'm new to Epidata, just building my first entry form. Is there a chance to have an automatic value in a field depending on the entered value in another field, i.e: Field_1 (entered by user): "A" Field_2 (automatically filled with "K", when user has entered "A" in Field_1): "K" I could not find a possibility to realise this by JUMPS or in the EXTENDED register card. I saw there were User Defined Functions in former releases of EPIDATA. Is this no longer possible in the new epidatamanager? Thanks for your attention! Christian

Epidata Entry Client Mac bug
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 01 May '14

01 May '14

Hi, I’ve been trying to use Epidata for data entry purposes. Excellent program! However, I noticed that in the current version of the Entry Client 1.4.4.2 the “Open” menu will not do anything (both on the drop down menu File->Open and the Button on the program). I downloaded the test version 1.5.1.0 and it seems to have the same bug as well. I can work around this by opening the file in Manager first and then opening it (as it shows in the “Open Recent ->” option). Otherwise it will not open a file. I don’t know if anyone has noticed this? I have been trying to see if I can use this for data collection. Thanks again for the excellent effort! Philip Ong, MD Baylor College of Medicine
