Some of what you want is available now.

2. If your value labels for B and C do not currently include missing values, you can set up values labels like this Field Value Label Missing B 1 aaaaaa *(checked) 2 bbbbbb *(checked) C 2 ccccccc *(checked)

and the Jump for A: Jump value GoTo Field Reset Value 1 D Max defined missing value (B and C get 2) 2 C Second max defined missing value (B gets 1)

3. Auto date fields have three possibilities. On new record - gets set when the record is first created and then does not change On first save - gets set when the record is first saved and then does not change On save/update - gets reset every time the record is saved

It looks like you want the first option, which is the default.

I have been using Epidata Manager, EntryClient for past one year. I like it's simple and user friendly features. With my recent use I have few suggestions:

1. In variable properties>Calculate, please provide option to calculate

using any mathematical operation sign (+, -,÷,×) between atleast four variables. 2. For jump rules, if it should be allowed to set the values of the questions jumped as per the value of jump. For eg. If there are variables A, B, C and D. If Code 1 is selected in A then jump to D and put the code 2 in B and C. If Code 2 in a selected in A then jump to C and put the code 1 in B. 3. In date variables an option of automatic date and time capture which is once captured and doesn't not change if the same form opened next time. This will help if we have multiple sections for data entry in single form which will be entered at different time intervals. 4. In browse data, it will be helpful if we can select and see any particular data entry in columns.
