Welcome to the community, @nthomford! Would you mind going through our previous post (it should help you understand your issue better):

Choice duplicate

Hi @maggib, I found the duplicate that i have highlighted with yellow and marked the font with red within list_name lf3sx85 whose name prefer_not_to_answer is seen repeated twice within list_name lf3sx85. For your ease check row number 89 and 93 under choices tab. [Image 1] The principle behind this is that each list_name should have unique code under it’s associated name. e.g. this is not allowed … list_name name test a test a test a … but this is allowed … list_name na…

Besides, you could also validate your xlsform through this online validator which should help you identify syntax issues that are present within.

Thank you very much for the assistance. But the online validator doesn’t give me any information. it practically repeats the error message

Yes, that information you get from the online validator is the clue for the syntax error present within your xlsform. Generally, it should not give you any issue if you do not have any syntax errors within your xlsform.
