Error with XLSForms for ODK

[Varo]

We are looking to hire someone who can help us solve the following problem that XLSForma throws at us when testing it in https://getodk.org/xlsform/ and that also does not allow us to implement it in KOBO.

Error: ODK Validate Errors:

Something broke the parser. See above for a hint.

Good evening @Varo ,

I faced the same error in the same context of a long nested logical test

Indexed-repeat error on long IF statement calculations

Hi to all, trying to customize a form discussed here I create a if test in the calculation column. The idea is to calculate the current month and then retrieve planned value for the current station for this month from the choices sheet. If face a problem which seems to be relative to the length of my expression. this test is ok : if((${mois}='01'),instance('stations')/root/item[name=indexed-repeat(${station}, ${mesure}, position(..))]/mois_01, (if((${mois}='02'),instance('stations')/root/it…

I didn't find a direct solution and I did what I mentioned in my post (multiple calculate questions instead of one only test)

@Varo now it seems to work fine with the same workaround I used last year (15 + 1 calculate outside of the if statement) lines 346 to 361
