**1. What is the issue? Please be detailed.**

When I’m trying to convert XLSForm to XML, when compiles it sent me this error:

Error: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'group'

**2. What steps can we take to reproduce this issue?**

Try to convert XLSForm using the online tool at [https://getodk.org/xlsform](https://getodk.org/xlsform) I’ve attached the form with the issue.

**3. What have you tried to fix the issue?**

We detected that the problem is at count-selected function on repeat groups at repeat count column.

Uploading the same form without that function is working, also using the old version of XLSForm Offline tool is working too.

**4. Upload any forms or screenshots you can share publicly below.**
