Pulldata('_query','token')

[janey]

am working on a form in the Global Server (https://ee.kobotoolbox.org) and I need to capture the surveyor’s name from the URL into a hidden field called token.

I configured my XLSForm with the following calculation:

pulldata(‘_query’,‘token’)

However, when I try to load the form, I receive the following error message:

Error loading
Can’t find _query.csv.

FormLogicError: pulldata with incorrect number of parameters found: pulldata(‘_query’,‘token’)

Could you please confirm if the Global Server is running a version of Enketo that supports _query as a source for pulldata? My goal is to automatically record the surveyor’s name from the URL into the hidden field token.

Enketo that supports _query as a source for pulldata

pulldata() cannot be used for this purpose - it is only used for reading in data from CSV files attached to your form; hence the error message you see.

Can you perhaps describe exactly what you are trying to accomplish here:

I need to capture the surveyor’s name from the URL

But the URL doesn’t intrinsically contain the surveyor’s name…

What you might try instead is to prefill the desired field in your form by adding a query parameter (with the surveyors name?) in the URL; this provides a good description of how this works: Prefill fields via URL in Enketo - #4 by knoxjohnny
