How do I create a pop-up window inside the XLSForm?

Question

I have a multiple-select question and I need to show a pop-up window to the form user whenever he/she selects one option, in this pop-up window he will answer more questions and close the pop-up to select another item from the multiple-select question or continue the other form questions.

for example, if I have the following multiple-select question: select one or more items:

• item 1
• item 2
• item 3

if the user selects an item for (example item 1) a pop window will appear to ask the user to answer a single select question about the gender like the following: select gender:

• male
• female

after selecting the gender the user could close the pop-up window and if the user selects another item another pop-up window will appear to ask about the gender and so on.

I wonder if there is a workaround to create it in XLSform or not?

Thanks

No this is not possible in XLSForm.

You could automatically create repeats for follow-up questions after answering all multi-select questions (and each repeat could refer to a single multi-select option), but it will get messed if the users goes back to the multi-select afterwards and changes the selected options. I'm not sure if there is a clever way to prevent that.
