Error when user submits form: Save Error registry ID already exists

The Enketo hashArr messages are normal and just informational logging (not errors).

Is that error the exact text that appears? I can’t find that message in the code. If you’re receiving it in a language that’s not English, you don’t need to translate it: just paste the exact message here (or take a screenshot).

If the text of the error is actually “This record name or ID already exists,” it’s related to duplicate UUIDs in the browser storage. From the Enketo author:

The underlying reason is that a record with that instanceID is already saved in the browser storage. The ID-generation should theoretically almost completely avoid collisions (1 in several billions chance I believe), so it’s likely some reproducible issue caused by a bug in the code. Until we can reproduce it reliably though, it will be hard to figure out what is going on. I hope somebody comes up with a way to reproduce it. (Redirecting to Google Groups)
