Welcome to the community, @Zere0913! You could validate your XLSForm through this online validator. The online validator should help you identify the syntax issues present within your XLSform.

This post discussed previously should also help you solve such issues:

Choice duplicate

Hi @maggib, I found the duplicate that i have highlighted with yellow and marked the font with red within list_name lf3sx85 whose name prefer_not_to_answer is seen repeated twice within list_name lf3sx85. For your ease check row number 89 and 93 under choices tab. [Image 1] The principle behind this is that each list_name should have unique code under it’s associated name. e.g. this is not allowed … list_name name test a test a test a … but this is allowed … list_name na…

Thank you Kal for the swift response. the online validator couldn’t again upload my XLS form mentioning the duplicate error.
How can I allow the duplicate choice setting as I didn’t see any option in the setting sheet of the XLS form?
Thank you!

With the online validator, you should be able to see syntax issues. So you will need to fix the issue and re-run the online validator (until you see no more issues).
