'Enter a supported XLSForm type...' message

[JayHodny]

Good afternoon.  I am working with the latest version of Survey123 Connect and publishing to ArcGIS Enterprise 10.9.1.  I have created a new survey project from an existing survey, and then modified the XLSForm.  I have noticed that I cannot choose 'type' in the cells in column A of the XLSForm.  When I highlight a cell, I receive the message in the screen shot below and no drop-down list appears.  If I enter the type manually in a cell in column A, this seems to work, but it is not the desired behavior.  If I add a row, and highlight a cell (e.g., cell A4 in column A) there is no option to choose a type from the list.  I cannot figure out how to resolve the issue.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance, Jay

Most likely in the past you did a Ctrl C instead of paste values which brings validation with it and messes it all up.
