Hi @Francis_Sebbi ,

There are two issues in your XLSForm:

1. Name for `ye89ot` in choices sheet is defined as 10 and 11 but in your relevant column, it's 1 and 2
2. The `date` question usually take more space, so give it two column space by setting appearance to `w2`

I have fixed Teaks row for you, please have a look

Hello Sadiq,  
Am so grateful for the support. It has worked. I have however, failed to provide a skip logic that can hide the table and questions below it when the preceeding question (Did you receive seedlings?) answer option ''No'' is chosen.  
Your kind support is again highly sought

Hi @Francis_Sebbi

You need to add `${consent}='1' and ${did_you_recieve_Seedlings_}='3'` to the `relevant` column of all groups that you want to hide based on "Did you receive seedlings" question
