Hello Jen and Team, Nice work on the new epidata software manager and client, which is under test. Is it possible to have the function for a roster variables instead of doing it manual. for instance in CSpro, there is a roster function of designing a household data that repeat several * *times, but in epidata you have to do it manual.

This is something I would use related files for, especially when you don't know how many household members there will be. We'll have to wait to see how they work in Manager/Entry.
If you have parts of questionnaires you will use often, including more than once in the same project (questionnaire), simply create a short .qes for them and import that .qes structure multiple times into Manager. This works very well. You can then alter the Vnn field names yourself.
