Survey123 Pulldata Function with .csv

KayManuel — Fri, 08 Aug 2025 16:00:27 GMT

I have tried everything I can think of, hence, the call for help.

I am trying to use the pulldata function to call some records from a .csv list.

I have checked and crosschecked the fieldnames in the survey form and the .csv list in the media folder to ensure it all checks out. I have done same with the syntax. At this point, I believe there might be a "minor" check I might have forgotten about or a survey fieldtype I need to add.

Please help.

P.S.: I have attached the survey form as well as the .csv list.

Thanks in advance.

Your CSV column headings have special characters and spaces. Clean it up. Remove columns you aren't using. It should be a very simply formatted CSV.

Thank you very much, Sir.

All I had to do was remove the fields I didn't need and it worked like magic. As you said, those extra fields contained spaces.

I now understand why the .csv file I tested with worked perfectly but this didn't: the test file was simple with only the required fields.
