I have a problem. I was finishing to build my form and I don’t what occurred but a lot of new questions just appeared. I want to delete them but I don’t know how to delete several questions at the same time or even delete an entire group.
Hi Marie
How were you developing your form? If using form builder, I would like to know exactly how the several questions came by. Do you share your share the form or password to the form with other users?
If you did not build this form on the form builder, then your solution would be straightforward.
Solution for both:
Download your form in XLS
On the survey sheet select all rows containing the extra sheets and then delete them.
Save your XLS
Upload the form as a replacement form in your project.
Thank you very much for your answer it may save my life
Yes I am building it with the building tool in kobotoolbox.org
Their appearance is a real mystery… I am alone building this form, I didn’t share anything! But what a can tell you is that the new questions are basically old questions repeated. So basically I have now a triplicate questionnaire and the three of them are identical.
@mariegillot, we would be really interested to have the following information (through a private message) so that we could have a closer look at your case:
It’s always easy to validate your xlsform through this online validator first before uploading them to your user account. It should be able to identify you with syntax issues if there is any.
Ok yes I tried it but I can’t understand very well, it has something to do with the repeating questions I had but I can’t really figure out what it is…
If you want to have the informations about my project please send me a private message
To be more precise, the repeated questions are not random questions they are in fact all the questions already composing my initial survey and as a conséquence it is creating an entire repeated new survey but the repetitions does not appeared only once or twice but three time.
The initial survey has an average of 600 questions and now I have more than 1800 questions.
The weird think is also that the “new questionnaires” appeared into a group of the original questionnaire.
So initially you had approximately 600 questions and you now have approximately 1800 questions where the additional 1200 questions are the repeat of the 600 questions.
