Expecting parameters to be in the form of 'parameter1=value parameter2=value'. after update

[hsaprog]

So, since the latest update we’ve been having this issue on multimple forms. We haven’t changed anything, everything just stopped working.

Welcome to the community, @hsaprog! Have you validated your XLSForm through this online validator? The online validator should help you identify any syntax issues that are affecting the form deployment.

This post discussed previously should help you use the online validator.

Hi @hsaprog,

Can you look at your parameter column and check if you have any values in there which doesn’t fit with the question types?

For example:

Form Develop

Hi @anis21, Can you look at your parameter column and check if you have any values in there which doesn’t fit with the question types? For example:

Unexpected KoBoCAT error 400: b'{"detail":"Expecting parameters to be in the form of \'parameter1=value parameter2=value\'."}'

I — DO — NOT — BELIEVE — IT !!! How simple can solutions be? I went through the parameters column again (where I thought I had only used it for restricting the image sizes) and found a “30” in a field of the type “geopoint”. It has been there for ages (at least I found it in a long abandoned version of mid last year) and only now it started to cause trouble. So maybe others experience the same issue. Solution: just delete the wrong entry!

Hello again @hsaprog,

You can see, in your xlsform, under parameters column, there are “FALSE” written in some calculate type questions. I believe if you just remove these, your problem should be solved.

Thank you so much. I did the same thing for all the other forms we have and it fixed all of them.
