Cascading in Kobo collect

Hi all,
Greetings,

I am getting this error message as I am working on the cascading in kobo tool box

#### Error generating preview
The survey element named ‘select_one_rh2hx61’ has no label or hint.

Please any support,

Best,
Hika

Hello @hika and welcome to the community!

Seems like you added an underscore _ between select_one and rh2hx61

Can you validate your form in here: ODK - XLSForm Online v2.x

Hi @hika,

The names should be unique in all form. Right now you have multiple 1’s, 2’s, 3’s and 4’s in your name column. Can you change them to unique names? This should solve your issue.

list_name name label region district
region 1 addis
region 2 oromia
district 1 bole 1
district 2 yeka 1
district 3 gmbi 2
district 4 ayira 2
kebele 1 w12 1
kebele 2 w13 1
kebele 3 w01 2
kebele 4 w02 2
kebele 5 buye 3
kebele 6 lalo 3
kebele 7 dongoro 4
kebele 8 guliso 4

It is from excel

Best,

Thank you so much, I will try it.

Does the system blocks you after many trials and, and may be making mistakes?
It is not accepting when I copy paste from the excel in to the kobotool box for cascading.
