Kobocat error 400 message

Hi @kmunce,

Welcome to the community! You should be able to understand this more clearly if you download your survey form as an xlsform as outlined here.

Once you have downloaded your xlsform you should see 3 different sheets (survey, choices and settings). The first one being the survey tab. On the survey tab, go to row 10. you should see either a select_one vc4am72 or a select_multiple vc4am72 question type. Here you are trying to select the choices from the choices tab list_name defined as vc4am72 which is accidentally not present in the choices tab. Try defining the choices there and your problem should be solved.

Here is a workaround on how it affects:

You should see a similar error message if you design your survey form as shown in the image below:

In the survey tab of your xlsform:
Image 1.1 (survey)

In the choices tab of your xlsform:
Image 1.1 (choices)

Reference xlsform: Problem
Error Message (Problem).xlsx (10.4 KB)

Error message seen in KoBoToolbox when deploying the xlsform:
Image 1.2 (Error Message)


If you want to fix the above issue try designing your xlsform as follows:

In the survey tab of your xlsform:
Image 2.1 (survey)

In the choices tab of your xlsform:
Image 2.1 (choices)

Reference xlsform: Solved
Error Message (Solved).xlsx (10.4 KB)

You should see no issue while uploading the reference xlsform now.

Have a great day!
