After reading REST request to retrieve a value from an external source, I tried the same with ODK Collect 1…27.1 today: First, it does not create a file xx.csv.imported, but keeps the filename xx. Nice. In addition, it keeps a hash of the file in the database table externalMetadata, and updating the CSV file works; the app updates the database when the CSV file changes. Well done.
I hope this feature will carry over to the announce 1.27.1 of Kobo.
The location of the CSV file has change when you accepted the “Migration” request. It is now (don’t blame me when I mistyped the boa constrictor):
internal/android/data/ord.odk.collect.android/files/forms
