I am writing to request your expert assistance with an XLSForm that I am unable to deploy.
I can successfully upload it and, most importantly, I can preview it without any errors showing. However, every time I attempt to deploy the form, it fails with the message: Server error (500).
I have already tried troubleshooting this multiple times, including checking it with the online ODK - XLSForm Online Validator, which also processes the file without showing any syntax errors. This leads me to believe there is a more subtle structural issue that the deployment engine is catching, but I am unable to locate it.
Welcome to the community, @redietfa! Feel free to share your XLSForm with the community! The community should be able to help you out.
Thank you for your response, @Kal_Lam.
I have tried, but the server responded that new users can not upload attachments.
Can you share your XLSForm form here to review it?
Dear Dr. Gareth,
Thank you for your response. I appreciate your dedication to helping me.
Here is attached the XLS form.
Best regards,
Rediet

It looks like your settings sheet is malformed. You have this:
but you need to ‘flip it’ to look more like this:
Once you do that, your form appears to deploy fine for me. Give this version a try:

If you want more info on what can go in the settings sheet, and how to format it, have a look here: XLSForm Docs
Wow! It worked. You have no idea how much of my valuable time it took editing the document in the choice and survey sheet, searching for solutions where the problem did not exist. Thanks!
