ERROR: Failed to update submissions values

Hi @Kal_Lam,
I’m not sure what “bulk-edit the submissions” means, but I don’t think so. I just want to edit some data one by one.

Hi @Kal_Lam,

Do you have any idea where this problem might be coming from and whether a solution has been found for people who have raised the issue in the past?

Thank you,
Vladoos

@Vladoos, is this an issue for a single case or is it an issue for all the cases for that project?

@Kal_Lam , it is an issue for all the cases, for that projet and the others I am overseeing.

Hello. I am unable to perform bulk edit due to encountering a similar error that was described above by other users.

Whenever I conduct bulk edits by changing a certain question from “nd” to “1” which is the code for “yes”, I get this error. This is occurring in all my deployed/active forms.

I am using the Humanitarian server.

My username is makkiomar.

I test all my XLSForms on XLSForm validator by ODK with no issues.

This is the issue for all cases for all submission in the same project and even in other projects in my account.

Kindly advise. @Kal_Lam

Sample project where Bulk-Edit is not working:

  1. Community Health Campaign Intake Form - إستمارة تسجيل في حَمْلَة التوعية الصِحِّيَّة المُجْتَمَعِيَّة
  2. Community-Based Nutrition Screening Intake Form - إستِمَارَة تَسْجِيل مَسْحِ الْحَالَةِ الْغِذَائِيَّةِ فِي الْمُجْتَمَعِ
  3. Boys and Men Family Planning Session Intake Form - إستمارَة تَسْجِيل جَلْسَة ِتَنْظِيم الأُسْرَة لِلشَّبَاب والرِّجالِ

Sample Projects where Bulk-Edit is working:

  1. T1DM Caregivers Campaign Intake Form

I understand there is a long story on this topic… I am a beginner on Kobo and facing the same problem. I have attempted bulk editing many time receiving always the same error message… Is there any development on this? Or hints to avoid editing entries one by one?
Thank you

Dear @Kal_Lam I have the same issue on humanitarian server, any solution ?

same issue here, can’t do bulk edit. has anyone been able to find a solution?

Dear colleagues, since I made the original post I’d like to know if there is already a solution/feedback from this issue?

Kind regards,
Pedro

Facing the same issue and it appears the only and most probable solution would be to leverage on their API to create a custom tool that will:

  • retrieve the exiting records based on a filter

  • change the value

  • and overwrite the existing data without changing the Index of the data.

Will explore this option and provide feedback.
