Add an boolean export parameter show_choice_labels that will accept true or false. This option will allow the labels of choices to be included in the submission data being exported. There are two possibilities:
- For each row where there is a choice was selected the user will see the label of the choice instead of the choice itself.
- We add an extra column, 'field_name:label' that will include the label of the choice in the 'field_name'.
Given the XLSForm:
| survey |
| | type | name | label |
| | select one fruits | fruit | Fruit |
| | | | |
| choices | list name | name | label |
| | fruits | 1 | Mango |
| | fruits | 2 | Orange |
| | fruits | 3 | Apple |
The export currently will look like:
| fruit | meta/instanceID |
| 2 | a1234567890abcd |
| 1 | b1234567789efgh |
With the export parameter show_choice_labes=true then we have the same export as:
| fruit | meta/instanceID |
| Orange | a1234567890abcd |
| Mango | b1234567789efgh |
For select multiple questions:
| survey |
| | type | name | label |
| | select_multiple fruits | fruit | Fruit |
| | | | |
| choices | list name | name | label |
| | fruits | 1 | Mango |
| | fruits | 2 | Orange |
| | fruits | 3 | Apple |
The export currently will look like:
| fruit | meta/instanceID |
| 1 2 | a1234567890ijkl |
| 2 3 | b1234567789mnop |
With the export parameter show_choice_labes=true then we have the same export as:
| fruit | meta/instanceID |
| Mango Orange | a1234567890ijkl |
| Orange Apple | b1234567789mnop |
For select multiple questions where the parameter value_select_multiples is true and split_select_multiples is also true, the export will be as:
| fruit | fruit/1 | fruit/2 | fruit/3 | meta/instanceID |
| 1 2 | Mango | Orange | | a1234567890ijkl |
| 2 3 | | Orange | Apple | b1234567789mnop |
With include_labels=true:
| fruit | fruit/Mango | fruit/Orange | fruit/Apple | meta/instanceID |
| 1 2 | Mango | Orange | | a1234567890ijkl |
| 2 3 | | Orange | Apple | b1234567789mnop |
