Welcome to the community, @corylus2020! Do you get this error message when you try to edit your submissions or when you try to submit your edited submissions to the server? In addition, could you also share with us the server you are using?

Hi @corylus2020, please note that the issue is now resolved. The problem is revealed if you attempt to preview the form and gives this error:

If I then download your form as an XLSForm and reupload it then the issue resolves itself. Are you developing your form using XLSForm or the formbuilder?

Hi @Josh,
any idea what can cause such KoBo problem - which is solved by just downloading and uploading the latest same version?

Maybe the latest form version was used on server level but not yet deployed? Which form version does KoBo use on modal edit and view on server level? The last deployed one?

Kind regards.
