Error in kobo - will not accept skip logic

[catherinea]

I have a list of 8 districts with skip logic to then ask which village… the last district keeps reverting to the previous district and returns an error repeatedly even though I’ve updated and saved several times.

There does not seem to be a allow_choice_duplicates column header defined in your settings sheet. You must have set allow_choice_duplicates setting in your settings sheet to have duplicate choice list names in your choices sheet

Welcome to the community @catherinea! Here are some good examples of why you see the error message (when deploying or previewing your survey project):

Unknown Enketo preview error!

Hi @anna_sda, When i tried to validate your xlsform through the site here i could see some issue (as outlined below): [image] When looking at the choices tab of your xlsform i see that row number 381 and 386 has the same name 2 assigned. Change one of them and your issue should be solved. [Image 1] PLEASE ENSURE THE SAME WITH OTHER CHOICES TOO. Have a great day!

And this should also be helpful:

Choice duplicate

Hi @maggib, I found the duplicate that i have highlighted with yellow and marked the font with red within list_name lf3sx85 whose name prefer_not_to_answer is seen repeated twice within list_name lf3sx85. For your ease check row number 89 and 93 under choices tab. [Image 1] The principle behind this is that each list_name should have unique code under it’s associated name. e.g. this is not allowed … list_name name test a test a test a … but this is allowed … list_name na…

Hi Kal Lam,

Not resolved. Kobo keeps changing the name back without saving the new skip logic.

I am rewriting this part of the survey - its quicker than resolving the coding I think!
