Can ODK update an entity from an encrypted form?

Hello,

Collecting some information using a form, some of the data is sensitive, so I'm encrypting the form. Is it possible to also update an entity using this form. I've tried, but it doesn't seem to work.

Thanks!

Hi @Alexander_Ishikawa, welcome to the ODK forum. If you have a moment, introduce yourself in the welcome thread!

Unfortunately no. When the form submissions are encrypted, they are stored in their encrypted format and only decrypted on export when the key is provided. This means Central can't read them so it can't use them for entities.
