Upload data to Kobo Server

[ammaar_al_nofaish]

Is there a way to download the data from KOBO and modify the data then upload the data to the KOBO Server?
For Example, when I upload the modified data via Excel the data should go to another location to distinguish between the modified database and the one without modifications.

@ammaar_al_nofaish, please be informed that this feature is currently not available with KoBoToolbox. However, we already have a feature request which you could follow through the post shared below (maybe you could VOTE the same to make it a reality):

Uploading new data or appending previous data to kobo server

Surveyed data are stored in the Kobo server. Sometimes I feel, and once was a crying need that, if it were possible to append few previously collected data to the newly collected data form, then I could analyse the changes of the result by Kobo automatic report. I think this service will make happy to many.

If you however wish to upload the clean version of your data back to the server you could do it as discussed in our previous post:

Uploading Data from XLS to the server

Hi @brighton_zocs, you can try using this (no longer supported) script: You can also try following these yet-to-be-published, draft tutorials on doing this through the API: Part 1 Part 2
