Delete an item in a repeated group when editing submitted data

[mgiacomozzirc]

Hi all,

I would like to know the best way to delete an item in a repeated group when editing submitted data, I mean, editing the survey with Enketo:

Making some testing, I found that decreasing the number of the question that determine the maximum number of items of the repeated group, the last items are deleted, but I didn’t find a way to delete a specific item, or a way to change the sort order of the items.

Can you help me? Thank you in advance,

@mgiacomozzirc, yes sometimes, you may have unnecessary records within a submission. You could delete them from the server. Here are the steps to edit/delete a record from the repeat group:

• Under the DATA>Table View, click the pencil like edit icon as shown in the image below:

  

• Then the submission opens in a new page. Then press the (-) of the record that you would like to remove/delete from the submission.

  

• Then press the Confirm button as shown in the image below:

  

• Now the remaining records will be seen. If this is what you need, then press the Submit button as shown in the image below:

Thanks for sharing. I found a lot of interesting information here. A really good post,

Thank you @Kal_Lam , it is very clear and helpful. However, in my case I don’t see the (-) button:

Continuing the investigation, I think that the issue occurs when the repeated group item’s repetitions are determined by another question (through the repeat_count). Indeed, I tried another survey without this property and it works exactly as you describe.

How can I resolve in this case?

Thanks,
