Are you trying to cascade here?
I just followed the steps as listed on here Problem recognizing external choices command with today's system upgrade - #12 by Kal_Lam
Was I not meant to do that?

Yes, if you have a long list of choices that you need to cascade. If you don’t have an option to cascade, you could use other approaches to use external data.
I only went for this option because I thought it would solve the issue where the choices for question 0.2.e) don’t appear. It seems to work as it appears on the kobo platform preview, but on the ODK online tester it still says both csv’s are empty, and it wont load on the phones.
Where do you reckon the error is?
The online validator should not be able to track this as you are not able to upload your external files there. So you will have to test it through your user account.
The preview on the kobo platform works. The downloading (and therefor testing) on the phone, does not. It says “failure” when trying to get a blank form.
Have you tried them with Enketo? Have you deployed your survey project after you uploaded your CSV file?
By trying with Enketo, do you mean this screenshot? I also tried on ODK - XLSForm Online v2.x which produced me an Enketo link but couldnt upload cvs files on there.
I have deployed the survey after uploading both csv files, it still gives me the right preview but i cant get it on the phone
I mean would you mind trying with KoBoToolbox’s web form?
Yes, but you will need to send us the data collection url.
Could you perhaps suggest the kind of mistakes that could lead to a scenario where a preview is succesful (the choices appear) but the download fails?
Will have a look at it and get back to you if I find any.
Thank you!
Hi, just checking if you’ve spotted anything I can use? The csv files are Excel Coma Separated, which I understand is the correct type.
@pauline.lietar, I did not have the time to got through it but will have a look at it and get back to you very soon.
