Form Version ID

[stobira]

Dear Team,
I have created an xlsform and set a verion id,however when the form is uploaded I can’t see the id.What could be the issue?

Hi @stobira,

Welcome to the community! Could you further let us know: where did you use the id? what do you intend to see after using the id?

This should help us identify you issue in detail. GOOD DAY!

Thank you for a quick response.In my xlsform ,I always include Version ID in the settings sheet,for example 20190901 as the version ID.When I upload the form on Kobocollect in my phone,version of the form is automatically loaded with some string values and not what I had indicated.I wonder if the my assigned ID could show Kobo Collect .

KoBoToolbox replaces the version ID from XLSForm with its own internal string. A unique string is attributed for each redeployment of the form. It would be great to display the simple integer increment number used in the UI instead of this random string. Unfortunately there are no plans to change this behaviour in the near future. We however recommend that you post requests to display sequential IDs or allow custom version IDs are welcome in Suggestion Box - KoboToolbox Community Forum

We made this change on June 1, 2021:

@jnm

Add friendlier version information to form lists shown in KoBoCollect and ODK Collect
Instead of showing the unique, randomly-generated version identifier, Collect will now display sequential version numbers (1, 2, 3, …) that match the “Form history” interface, as well as the date that the version was created. You will need to redeploy existing forms to see the new version information, but no changes to the form content are needed

Bonjour,
Comment récupérer les données déjà collectées par un second formulaire de même structure que le premier, sachant que le premier formulaire a été supprimé du serveur et que les ID des deux formulaires sont évidemment différents.
autrement dit, comment récupérer les données sauvegardées sur le téléphone alors que leur formulaire a été supprimé du serveur par erreur ?
Merci.
