Inconvenience with the groups of a form

[cispmed]

Good Morning,

In some forms that I am asking the questions that I have grouped when saving the questions that I have within that group disappear, please inform me because that error may be occurring.

Thank you.

Error:

Your form cannot be implemented because it contains errors:

Hi @cispmed,

Maybe this post discussed earlier should help solve your issue:

Unable to deploy your form cannot be deployed because it contains errors

Hello, this happens if you have a group without a UI element, for ex. nothing, or hidden, or calculate only in the group. Here an example: EmptyGroup01.xlsx (9.9 KB) You can preview (and save) the form, but deploy gives the error: [image] You get the same error message, if you check your XLSFom with https://opendatakit.org/xlsform/ You have the same problem, if you only put KoBo metadata in a group, see example EmptyGroup02.xlsx (10.1 KB) Further hints: A note, as single item in a grou…

Have a great day!

Good Morning,

I am not using excel files to upload groups.

I use the option that etsa in the question editor to group questions and when saving generates that error it shows the group without information.

Hi @cispmed,

Would you mind downloading your survey project as an xlsform and then see as outlined in the above post. Advising you this, because you may see an error message similar to the one that you have shared in your post above.

Else, you could also share your xlsform so that someone from the community would be able to pinpoint the syntax error within your xlsform.

Have a great day!
