Dates & Integer Input questions don't transfer to google doc's

I have Aggregate deployed on my google appspot (aggregate v0.9.4).

I created a form with Build. This form includes date & integer-input
data types (as well as others, like string-inputs, etc.).

I posted my form to aggregate, downloaded it onto my phone (Cliq) and
ran several forms via Collect (v1.1.5), then sent those finished forms
to my Aggregate instance on my appspot.

From Aggregate on my appspot I then viewed my data (List Forms > View
Forms) - everything looked fine.

Next, I tried to send my data to google spreadsheets (List Forms >
External Service Connection > Google Spreadsheet)...

However, after exporting to google spreadsheet, when I opened up my
google spreadsheet I'd created and exported to, some of the questions
were missing data! None of the questions that were "date" data-types
or "integer-input" data-types had any values (data) in the google
spreadsheet. The column header was there, but the results from the
completed forms were empty for these questions.

What happened?

Matt,

Good question. I have opened an issue
http://code.google.com/p/opendatakit/issues/detail?id=190

Can you attach the form that is causing the the problem to the issue?
It's easier if we can exactly recreate your problem. Google continues
to make updates to the Gdata interface and App engine and the updates
have been known to break pre-existing code. We are aware of a break
that happened last week on the newer version of GAE and spreadsheets
but I did not think it would affect 0.9.4 code. Additionally, it could
be an oversight on our part of a use case we didn't think of (for
example bad characters in your column headings) or something could
have changed in Google APIs that breaks existing code (this happens
about every 6 months).

Please provide as much detail as possible in the issue and we will look into it.

Cheers,
Waylon

Matt,

Google Spreadsheet does not like the underscore character "_" in the
element name. This was already fixed in Aggregate 1.x tree. I back
ported the fix to the 0.9.x tree (aka default).
