What is the issue? Please be detailed.
Can anyone tell me why the dashes highlighted appear at the end of every question/answer options when I view on Enketo?
Upload any forms or screenshots you can share publicly below.
Hello @arqaam,
It would probably help if you can share the XLSForm (just the part you took a screenshot for).
If you are building your form labels by combining multiple columns using excel functions like (textjoin() or concat()) with dash as a separator, the dashes would still appear if the last column has no values
In forms with multiple language, any untranslated values would also appear as dash, though i doesn’t seem to be your case
Again, that's just an assumption, a look on the actual forms would help
Best,

This is great additional knowledge. However, I was able to resolve the issue a few hours ago. Thank you once again.
Could you be so kind to post what your solution was, for posterity, in case somebody else with a similar problem searches and lands here... thnx

A bit of background, the survey was to be in multiple languages. So on the columns constraint_message::English (en), and required_message::English (en) I had left a space between the last colon and English as shown :: English (en) . It turns out that XLSForms are sensitive to spaces in some column headers. After I deleted the space, everything was resolved.

The code that processes XLSForms should be more resilient. I've filed an issue at https://github.com/XLSForm/pyxform/issues/641 so we can fix it.
Good catch! I'd never had guessed that one!
