Hi all,Your replies are making things quite interesting. Reading all the replies i think we can summarize the solution we have as below1. As JASON suggested, we can have Yes only/Yes/No (preferable Yes only) for check-box. But the drawback over here is we need to create as many DE as the options in our checkbox. 2. As Markus suggested, We can have as many DE as our options alike to JASON but we can trick over in UI. We can make it look like group of checkbox merge together to show them as multi select drop down. Am i right?3. As Abyot suggested, he has got something different. He has created one DE; presented option as checkbox and stored value in that DE as json or something else. The problem with this approach is, its harder for us to analyze the details if we ever need to do so. Checkboxes has always been headache and I am still confused which one should i prefer while addressing this problem in my program. Please suggest me.

However, if the solution shall work end to end we need to store the values across several dataelements. Given this, the problem and solution can be in the client side - the problem is a unruly long list of "yes only" fields, and the solution could be a smarter/more compact input mecanism for a group of such dataelements. Will post here once I have something in the Palestine tree. 17. sep. 2015 kl. 09.59 skrev Abyot Gizaw <aby...@gmail.com>:Hi, Yes custom solutions are possible - I also remember doing a similar thing for the first version of Palestine tracker. What I did back then was appended all the values under a single dataeleemnt. In general, the issue is not from the input side, rather from the output side. If we are interested in counting or aggregating each distinct value then we have to create as many dataelements as values. ---Thank you, Abyot.

Perhaps the solution can be improved upon so we could implement a generic version in the /\w* capture/g clients.

Aggregate data elements can only be evaluated to a number... regards, Lars On Thu, Sep 17, 2015 at 9:30 AM, Jason Pickering <jason.p.picker...@gmail.com> wrote: Hi Asiz,The problem is option sets allow for a single choice, not multiple ones. I realize it is not particularly convenient, but I cannot think of another way to do it in this case. If there are other ideas however, it would be good to know! Good luck,Jason On Thu, Sep 17, 2015 at 8:53 AM, Asiz koju <utsavk...@hotmail.com> wrote: Hi Jason,Thanks for your quick response. As I have already mention i have got nearly 20 services to select from and creating data element for each and every single services as yes only or yes/no will over populate the data element list. I have got another scenario where i have to register my provider. In that program i have to chose either the provider is certified, trained or interested. And the we have nearly 15 services in the list. So that means we need to create 45 data elements to capture the details. I am afraid to implement this idea. Can you or anyone suggest me any possible solution?

You will need to create multiple data elements of type Yes Only or Yes/No for this for each of the services which might be offered.
