Add search option for categorical question

Proposal

Add search option for categorical question so it will be easy to get a particular element to thick

Affected subsystems

It will affect Interviewer, depending on how you configure, it may affect designer

Users

It will be helpful for interviewers

Surveys

the surveys on non standard unit (long list of products and units) will need it. Also surveys with professions, activities, products

Alternatives

Actually i had to sort items in alphabetical order (meanwhile the order was grouping item according to the idea behind)

Market examples

CSPro has it

What is the effect of this feature?

Compatibility

How will this new feature change the behavior of Survey Solutions for existing users? What will happen to assignments already made? For interviews already collected? Will it require the users to update their servers? Tablet installations?

Applicability

Everyone will use it

Does it make sense?

Yes our team really needed it for the current survey (NSU) and for application in another household survey (LSMS) and any with many codes (items for questions)

Limits

I don’t see any limit

Hello @DianeJ, are you requesting to reinvent the wheel combobox?

Which NSU survey? The North South University Employer Satisfaction Survey? I had a quick look at this questionnaire and don’t see any large option sets there.

Which country for the LSMS survey?

Thank you for your answer. Actually the combo is perfect to solve my need. NSU was for Non-Standard Unit. it is in the frame of LSMS (but called EHCVM in central Africa or ECAM for Cameroon)
