Survey123 App is displaying variable name instead of label in required question

IshwarDhami1 — Fri, 12 Oct 2018 10:51:29 GMT

Field users reported that in the new version of Survey123 app for IOS, required question is displaying the variable name instead of label. For example, if they miss the question, they used to get pop up with "Name of Contractor: is required", now pop-up comes with "cont: is required" which is the variable name for Name of Contractor. It was working fine in previous version. Do you have any solution for this?

Hi Ishwar,

Can you provide the XLS Form design, or at least the row configuration for that question?

Attached is the xlsx file. Label was coming fine in the previous version of Survey123 App in iOS. Thank you.

Thanks Ishwar,

I can replicate the issue with the default required message alert and have filed an issue to address this. You can specify the 'value is required' message though the required_message column in an XLSForm.
