Same XML value

[toufikhayek]

Hello,

I am just trying to have the same XML value for different options but there is always an error message while deploying that I should add allow_duplicates, but this doesn’t work in my case, the options are appearing with the same texts after reviewing.
for example:
male 0
female 1
man 0
girl 1
after deploying, those options appear as :
male
female
male
female
please note that these XML values cannot be changed as they are present in scoring and analysis.

You probably used the same labels for the (value) duplicates.

Why do you need duplicates here? You might use two separate choice lists with similar codes.

Can u show me how for the given example?

Would you mind to explain what you exactly want to do/achieve, please.
And could you share here the related part of your form (survey and choices extract)?

@toufikhayek, this post discussed previously should help you solve your issue:

Choice duplicate

Hi @maggib, I found the duplicate that i have highlighted with yellow and marked the font with red within list_name lf3sx85 whose name prefer_not_to_answer is seen repeated twice within list_name lf3sx85. For your ease check row number 89 and 93 under choices tab. [Image 1] The principle behind this is that each list_name should have unique code under it’s associated name. e.g. this is not allowed … list_name name test a test a test a … but this is allowed … list_name na…

@Kal_Lam thanks for sharing this, so your solution was to change the name of each item, however, I need the name to be the same as I have the same values for two different options and these values presenting in my scoring and analysis, hope you got it. I can’t allow duplicates, the options will be the same in the survey so as I mentioned before, in the xls file I put for example these items:
Male 0
Female 1
Man 0
Girl 1
But unfortunately, they appear as this,
Male
Female
Male
Female
Thanks!
