Hi all, I’ve got a similar problem as well. As @dianedetoeuf mentioned ~2% (22 out of 1024) of my submitted forms have duplicated _uuids (11 duplicated uuids for 22 submissions). Their _ids are unique, and the submissions are not duplicated -they are genuine submissions.
I don’t know if it helps but here are the answers to the questions that @wroos asked:
- UUID duplicates are both in table view and excel export.
- Can’t reproduce it.
- ID’s are different, but the uuid’s are duplicated.
- Other than the
usernameof the person, most of the data is different. (got 134 questions which some of them expected to be have same answers, not a duplication issue.) - When trying to view the submission, it works as expected, BUT when I try to edit I get an error:
(this might be due to today’s server issue, will check again when the server is acting a little bit better.)
(By the way, could there be a relation between this issue and the can’t edit issues recently?)
The data server for your form or the Enketo server is down. Please try again later or contact support@kobotoolbox.org. (500)
- Forms don’t have any type of media attachment.
More information:
-
All the duplicated UUID’s occur within the relevant account. See screenshot for details:
(In other words, there is no duplicated UUID between different accounts)
(Censoredusernamesand Most of the UUID’s for security reasons.)
-
All of them are submitted via web.
One of the things I noticed is the submisson time. In @dianedetoeuf’s, @Bernard_26’s and my cases, the submission time of the duplicated UUID’s are so close to each other.
Will test more and update here.
Best,
