**1. What is the issue? Please be detailed.**  
We have a form with the following error message when someone trying submit "Error: Generic Exception: Error: Could not find the resource you were looking for". Another version was loaded in a separate project on the same server and it works correctly, but on this project it doesn't work.

**2. What steps can we take to reproduce this issue?**  
We are using ODK Central v2023.1.0 and ODK Collect v2022.4.4

**3. What have you tried to fix the issue?**  
I have tried to upload the ODK Central versión from v1.4.2 to v2023.1.0. I have also tried reuploading the form. In web form it works fine, but in mobile version it doesn't work.

The error happens when I finish a form and try to submit it. Forms are saved in "Send Finalised Form" section.

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

We've seen this error before when the form id or version had unexpected characters. We thought we had fixed that issue but maybe not. What is the form id? The version?

I don't believe you'd get this (not very helpful) error with a closed form but you might want to double check that it is open and accepting submissions.

Thanks for your prompt response.

The form have the following setting in the file:

form\_title = V1.0 Levantamiento de parcelas en cobertura arbórea arbustiva y herbácea  
form\_id = v\_1\_0\_levantamiento\_de\_parcelas\_en\_cobertura\_arborea  
version = 20230227-1  
default\_language = Español (es)  
allow\_choice\_duplicates = yes

I just checked the form opening and it is open and receiving files. Users also have access to the form enabled.
