Circular Dependency in Skip Logic

[Dylan-Gillespie]

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1.Create a form in KFB, add questions.

2. In the Skip Logic for a question, you can refer to the question you are on. 3.This question is relevent IF i answer A to THIS question
3. Like: 5: Load this form into KoBoCollect, it will crash the form. What is the expected output? What do you see instead? In Validator: you will get this error message "XPath Dependency Cycle: /data/A01 => /data/A01 Dependency cycles amongst the xpath expressions in relevant/calculate"

In KoBoCollect, the form will crash on load with the error message "Dependency cycles amongst the xpath expressions in relevant/calculate"

[3:13:00 PM] john.etherton: yeah, self references would cause cycles.

Change the way Skip logic is presented to the user:

In the advanced properties for a question, Skip logic copy starts as

is not skipped over when any of the following apply: <> [insert text of this question]is equal to:

instead,

is not skipped over when any of the following apply: <> [type the text of the question. Text will auto-complete.]is equal to:

By default, cursor should appear in relevant question text box, possibly with a prompt text like "type the text of the question. Text will auto-complete"

Users can no longer select the question they're on as the question to test for skip logic.
