Here is the error message:

Welcome @fallou_diaw

@fallou_diaw

FACING_SAN_PELLEGRINO_25CL_VER

As the error message says, you miss a variable/question with this name, but you try to $-reference it.

You may use the Online validator, please, to check your form, step by step during development and before upload and deployment.
