“Generalidades” is the name of the questions set
“generalidades /consecutivo_emergencia” is the field that shows multiple values, must be just one
and the rest of the responses associated to “generalidades” in the xls is empty

Thanks @Kal_Lam but reading, the issue was produced by a change between repeat_group and normal group. In ma case, I made “Editing Responses in Multiple Submissions” like the documentation: select a group of rows and change one or two columns.
After I opened the forms individually and saved them expecting a concatenated auto column to update. But once saved the form, in the kobo appear the column with the group’s name and the values [object,object] and the concatenated fields appear two or more times, and in the xls the gruop data dissapear.

I hope you can help me

Thank you for providing additional details @hoffmat. Just a query, did you also edit the repeat group questions, or did you simply edit questions other than the repeat group?

My form have a normal group with five elements and using two of this to create a concatenated value, i don’t have a repeat group in this form. The first value is a selected_one field and the second is a date. Is like:
Selected one: BC, AC, RP
date: 2022-01-02
calculated: BC_2022-01-02
So,

  1. I edited a value in multiple submissions, speficically the field selected_one (BC, AC, or RP), this value changed fine but the calculated field not changed… if the original value was BC and I edited for AC, the calculated value continues with BC_2022-01-02,

  2. I opened the form, and saw if the calculated field changed, (I have a note that show me this calculated value) and yes, appear with the new value that I edited previously, so I just clicked submit.

  3. Updated the kobo site and in the table appear the new column with the same name that the group name and the value object, object

  4. I downloaded the xls and the values into de group dissapear, but in the kobo table appear

  5. I tried to edit the form openened and changing the values that “dissapear”, clicked in submit, and again the values appear in the kobo table but no in the xls.

  6. I tried to edit with multiple selection and the values appear like n/d, clicked in the edit, changed the value and save… doesnt work neither.

  7. I wrote you

I don’t know if edit fields outside group works or not

thanks

Thank you @hoffmat for describing the entire process in detail. We could also keep this as a backup to resolve the issue that has already been created in the GitHub.
