Description
The pulldata
function offers shortcut syntax for XPath queries that filter a list defined in a CSV based on a single property's value.
An initial implementation might construct and evaluate the corresponding XPath query. See Enketo's implementation.
One appealing thing about pulldata
is because the query shape is known, it's easier to optimize. In Collect, this is done with a database backing. In Enketo, this is done by using the native browser evaluator. An initial implementation doesn't need to be optimized but ideally would have an eye towards future optimization ideas.
Typically we've ported JavaRosa scenario tests for XPath functions and other core functionality. However, JavaRosa does not implement pulldata
, Collect does because of the database backing mentioned above. Here are some scenario tests verifying special cases that could be ported over.
Here is a user interested in using pulldata
in the short term: https://forum.getodk.org/t/select-multiple-choices-then-rank-the-selected-choices/16444/16?u=ln
