Badly Formatted Table List Error

SteveCole — Tue, 03 Dec 2019 19:18:25 GMT

Getting my feet wet with Survey123 Connect. I wanted to physically reformat a survey so that the sections in it flow the same way as a paper form it will replace. I'm slowly copy/pasting items from the original XLSForm into a brand new one and I'm getting this error:

Unless I missed it, I didn't see this error in the documentation or through searching the group. I've attached the XLSForm that's generating this issue.

Thanks!

Steve

Not sure if this is it for you but I do see commas in your lists. These can cause issues. Try removing. The > and % in your name column may not be allowed also. Not sure.

You are getting the error because you're including table-list for the appearance of the group. You can't use that with "pages" style, is my understanding.

I downloaded your file. When I cleared the "table list" appearance for the group (on row 49 of your survey tab), then the form will build without error.

Ok, that explains why the original XLSForm I was copying this from works fine (it doesn't use the table-list). I was having trouble re-arranging sections in my original XLSForm (I had a blank page with no questions even though they existed in the survey tab) so I decided to create a fresh one and bring in sections of the survey. I wondered why that original version wasn't using table-list. I guess that's why!

Thanks.
