I’ve recently updated my form with some new questions that have free-text fields. The form is connected to a PBI dashboard via API, but I’m running into an issue where some of these new follow-up questions aren’t showing up on the dashboard.
Here’s what I’ve tried so far:
- Exported the data and checked that the answers are there.
- Connected to a blank dashboard and saw that the new columns appear.
- Refreshed the API link on the old dashboard, but the new columns are still missing.
Do you have any suggestions on what else I should try?
Thanks a lot for your help!
Hi @arina.hrydasova Welcome to Community!
Your problem is not from the Kobo side, your problem is form the Power BI side. When you added the columns to kobo form, Power BI import these columns but it doesn’t select them to show you in first place because they were not in the first version of the form. So it is really simple to solve, there is two solution first one, go to source step from the applied steps and click the double sided arrow, and check the unchecked columns names, there should be uncheck column same as added questions. Second solution is click the gear icon next to source or navigation in applied steps and it will show you the same page as the first option, check the uncheck questions, your problem is solved. If you can’t solve it let me know!

Dear @osmanburcu,
Thank you for your suggestion. I have double-checked, and unfortunately, the new columns are still not appearing in the list.
To clarify, I added six new questions: three are single/multi-select, and three are follow-up questions with free text input. After updating my dataset, only the three single/multi-select questions appear on each stage of the process, but the follow-up questions do not.
Dear @arina.hrydasova is the follow-up question filled? at least one form has follow up answer?
Yes, I have from up to 55 answers there
Are you importing though API v1 or API V2?
