Hello please I need help with the same issue. When I want to deploy my questionnaire I got this eeror “The name column for the ‘ol8hj24’ choice list contains these duplicates: ‘autres’. Duplicate names will be impossible to identify in analysis unless a previous value in a cascading select differentiates them. If this is intentional, you can set the allow_choice_duplicates setting to ‘yes’. Learn more: XLSForm.org” But I don’t know how to find the list choice indicated here. I need assistance please. Thanks in advance

Welcome to the community, @Aby! This post discussed previously should help you identify syntax issues if any within your form.

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…

You should also be able to identify syntax issues by validating your XLSForm through this online validator.
