(Bug?) Remove middle instance of a group ODK Collect 1.4.4 rev 1045

Hi all,

I get a "Saved form failed" if I try to remove a groupe members in a form that isn't the last one created. I'm using the "repeat group", not count.

So if I have 3 children (each is one group inside the same form), I can delete any child, but upon trying saved I get "Sorry, saving form failed". There seems to be no way to save the form once that has been done (I tried all ways possible).

Deleting the last one, then the one before, works. I didn't find other topics on this, could it be a 1.4.4 problem?

Then work-around would be to delete the last child, then second-to-last, etc. until you delete the wrong one.

Another option (not yet tried) would be do delete the group from Aggregate after exporting the data.

Hi Francis,

Sounds like a bug. I've filed it at
https://code.google.com/p/opendatakit/issues/detail?id=1069. Star the
issue to get updates. No ETA for a fix.

Sweet, thanks. Complementary info: I am not 100% sure, but maybe 80%: I think this is a new bug, because I am pretty sure I tried the same thing under previous version. If that can help find the problem....

Actually a smarter work-around would be to re-fil the information of your last completed group (or any new group you need to create) under the group you want to delete. Would save a couple of steps... So basically using your middle group you want, but can't delete, and fill it with valid information.

That assumes the order in the group doesn't matter for you application.
