Cascading select XLSForm not saving

Development
1

Hi all,

i have implemented a cascading Select using XLSForm of States, Counties and
cities. the list is very long as you can imagine.
unfortunately after the form has been filled and closed it does not save
the selections made to the States nor Counties nor cities.

Thank you
Abdul

Abdul,

It looks like it saves the data to XML but doesn't load it back up.

Values should not contain spaces or apostrophes, but labels can. My
guess is that is what is screwing it up.

Try reducing the form to a few states, counties and cities with no
spaces and see if that works. Attached is a sample I used for Vietnam.

Abdul,

Glad to help! In the future, use ODK Validate
(http://opendatakit.org/downloads/download-category/validate/) to test
the form. It catches these sorts of mistakes.
