Hi there,

As per other comments on the forum, or_other data columns are not exported in the latest export utility, but instead need to be downloaded using the legacy export formats Problem with exporting "or_other" data

Given that the legacy export options will be retired at some point in the future, is there any plan to include or_other data columns in the in the remaining export utility?

I know there are other ways to include ‘other’ fields in XLSForms, but we have large existing forms and databases that already use or_other, and would require significant re-writes if we cannot export or_other data in future.

Thanks,
Geoff.
