Hi @mrt_ky,

Welcome to the community! I just tried out uploading a csv file for select one from file question type and was successful. Please try using the attached file:

Reference xlsform:
select_one_from_file.xlsx (10.5 KB)

Reference csv file:
fruits.csv (522 Bytes)

For reference, you could also have a look at our previous post which should outline you with detailed steps on uploading a csv file in KoBoToolbox:

Have a great day!

Hi @vishwadeep
Could you provide context to how you were trying to operationalize this for your case? This clarification would help other users chime on your problem.

@vishwadeep, when you try to edit a survey form that has the select_one_from_file question type you see this error message. It’s a but and we already have a GitHub issue for the same. You could follow it here:
