Hi All,

I am working on a project were I need to get the personal
details of my respondents and am having a challenge in creating a mobile phone
number I notice koboform only take 9 digit characters.

Please can I increase the length of the characters ?, if yes how do i go about it.

Thank you.

Hi

Consider changing the phone numbers to text since even at analysis you will only operationalize the phone numbers as text.

Hi

what you need to do is to use a string field with appearance=“numbers” to enter and store larger
integers.

An explanation of this issue can be found at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/opendatakit/l4mwbraaXSM and a workaround found http://opendatakit.org/help/form-design/workarounds/

Hope this helps.

regards

@ Aloo,

I don’t want to make it a text because of my Enumerators.

@ Chigiri

I have tried your suggestion of using a string field with appearance=“numbers” to enter and store larger

integers.

But it’s not working for me.
