Hello all,
I am currently working on a form in KoboToolbox and encountering an issue when testing it in the preview mode. I’ve set up a constraint for a question to limit responses to a maximum of 31, but it seems like the form is still accepting values greater than this.
Here is the configuration for the question in my XLSForm:
type | name | label | constraint | constraint_message
----------|-------------|--------------------------------------|------------|-------------------
integer | pizzas_month| How many pizzas have you eaten this month? | .<=31 | Please enter a value 31 or less
In the form preview, when I input a value greater than 31 (for example, 50), I am expecting to see the constraint message (“Please enter a value 31 or less”). However, the form is still being validated and accepted with the higher value.
I’ve checked the form in a spreadsheet program, ensured that the question type is correct, and I’m confident that there are no extra spaces, incorrect quotation marks, or other formatting issues. I’ve also saved and re-uploaded the form to KoboToolbox after making these changes.
Does anyone have any ideas on why this constraint might not be working, or suggestions on what else I can try to resolve this issue?
