Hi,
Can we have an export through API providing a zip file with both main and repeat tables in csv format in cases the xlsform contains repeat elements?
Having csv export is preferable specifically when the survey is long and reaches the limit of columns that comes with xls export…
I understand (please correct if wrong) that as of now, this possible only if using ODK briefcase, GitHub - getodk/briefcase: ODK Briefcase is a Java application for fetching and pushing forms and their contents. It helps make billions of data points from ODK portable. Contribute and make the world a better place! ✨💼✨ - this would be more user friendly of that process could be handled on the server side and this would allow to suppress the dependency on briefcase.
This issue is also indirectly referenced here:
Admin or Developer, I suggests wide format of data export feature should be consider and add to the option and methods of exporting data to excel.
Wide format; a format in which the repeat groups should be on a single row with the rest questions per respondent instead of separating the repeat groups in a different sheet in the excel after export.
What is the general goal of the feature?
What are the most likely user stories for how and when this would be used by someone on your team?
Can you…
I have a format with “repeating groups”, thus the data, when I download comes in a separate tab of the excel file…however when I query the API the CSV has only one file/tab, and the repeat groups tab/data is not there. What would be the addres to get this in the api?
Thanks
