Type of Note questions

Good afternoon.
Dear team, I need your help.
I am new to creating XLSForm.
Please, when I create questions, I make the question type “Note” and everything works fine. But when I download the collected data after the survey, all questions are downloaded and even the “Note” column is empty and I don’t need it. This wastes time cleaning up the data since it was a regular prompt and not a direct question. Is it possible to make the “Note” type of questions not downloaded?

Hi @Vlad_Dn and welcome to the community!

In the Data > Downloads, there is an advanced options. In this options you can choose which questions to be exported in your download. If you deselect the note questions, they won’t be in the exported file.

You can find more information in this help article:
