@mitikuk, I would request you to rename all the names you have provided in your choices sheet

as discussed in one of our previous post:

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…

I know this should take up your time a bit but it should help you solve your issue. Besides, you could also check your xlsform with this online validator to see if there is any syntax issues within your xlsform.

Hello,
I seems that these are automatically created names (KoBo Formdesigner), confused by the non-standard labels. So, you may try if you can avoid this by reversing the order of the language (label) columns. First English. (Maybe you also need to set the default language during form design temporarily to English.)

Hi,
Could you please confirm how you designed your form:

1. Did you this on the KoBoToolbox platform and downloaded it?
2. Did you design the form in Amharic?
3. If yes, to 1 and 2 above, do you still have the project on your account?

I would like to test @wroos theory
