New user could not upload attachment

there is the upload attachment key while you replying . its has up arrow sign where you can upload your excel.

In the meantime can you provide a screenshot showing survey and choices in your xlsform ?

@ Kal_Lam - could you help for uploading the attachment for new users

Hello Khisa,

Its still hard to understand with the screenshot to understand the issue you facing. Unless you share your excel. I wont be able to help.

Hello Khisa,

Please get attached to the updated version of your file, I had highlighted the changes that I had made, you didn’t have any group with that name so i changed the name and delete the end group. And at the end I added end group as, i assume its all part of section E

Its working on my side. hope it works for you.

Thank you for this

Kindly assist tried redeploying on my side but it cant. Appreciated the changes made on the form. Am new in this

you can just replace the existing form with this form … and after that you need to redeploy and it will say version 1 or 2 or 3 depending upon how many times you had deployed the form.

OR you can just delete the form you had in the server and upload excel file and deploy.

Tried by replacing did not work. I also did delete and uploaded but it isn’t deploying

What message or error does it says while deploying ? I tried on my side and I am able to deploy the same form. and it works for me.

May be of weak internet connection ? is it lagging ?

After replacing and deploying when i read the form it has a lot of harsh tags. This is the message
ODK Validate Errors: Group has no children! Group: ${group_we7ao43}. The XML is invalid. >> Xform is invalid! See above for errors and warnings. The following files failed validation: ${tmp58iupqi1} Result: Invalid

I assume you are uploading the old file again !!

Maybe am new on kobo. Could i perhaps get the copy of the form you are using and try on my end. Thanks
