Error: An error occurred when checking the report template. Failed to parse ${gps} since gps cannot be found in the current parsing scope.

Hi all, I was able to resolve my previous issue with removing the {/} at the end of my report template.

Now I am running into the issue of Survey123 show this error when uploading the template. I'm sure the syntax is correct since I copied everything from the sample template.

Any solutions for this error?

Is the field name of your geopoint question gps? If not you need to change it to match the name of the geopoint question.

Uploading your XLSX will help solve this one. Without that, we'd be guessing blind

I have uploaded the XLSX file, thank you.

Thank you for the XLSX.

So there is your issue. ${gps} is inside of a repeat (Site_Number). You need to reference this repeat for gps to be "found in the parsing scope"

E.g., ${#Site_Number}${gps}${/}

Thank you for the reply.

So everything inside the repeat will need to be modified in the report template to reference the repeat?

Correct!

Also, keep in mind that repeats have a specific way that they interact with tables (which you are using in your Feature Report).

If you are spanning columns, a repeat needs to be the first and the last thing in any given row. Check out the examples below for valid repeats within tables:

For some examples of things that are not allowed, check out these invalid examples:
