Adding a form

Hi Guys, I wanted to try out uploading an XLSForm which I imported from Kobotoolbox on to my ODK aggregate account and it gives me the following error "Error: Problem with JavaRosa Parsing Form: org.opendatakit.aggregate.exception.ODKIncompleteSubmissionData: org.javarosa.xform.parse.XFormParseException: XML Syntax Error at Line: 3, Column: 207!". I thought there could be a problem on the XLSForm and tried to upload the sample XLSForm from ODK itself, but it again gives me "Error: Problem with JavaRosa Parsing Form: org.opendatakit.aggregate.exception.ODKIncompleteSubmissionData: org.javarosa.xform.parse.XFormParseException: XML Syntax Error at Line: 3, Column: 102!".
So, I kindly request you to give me a clue of what this means and how to resolve it.

What ODK tool and version are you using? And on what device and operating system version?

What steps can we take to reproduce the problem?

What you have you tried to fix the problem?

Anything else we should know or have? If you have a test form or screenshots or logs, attach here.

Is the XLSForm file something that you can share here (to help people troubleshoot)?

No, sorry, I am not allowed to share the XLSF form at this point.

Hi @Milliongeb, if you want to upload xlsform form into ODK Aggregate, you have to convert it to xml format before it can be uploaded to the ODK Aggregate.

Thanks

@Fabla is correct. And xlsform.opendatakit.org is a good place to do that conversion and see what errors you might have.

I have confirmed that the error message above is the one given when an Excel file is uploaded. It's not a very good error message and perhaps someone could look at improving it...
