How to change only the media file without deleting the form

Hello,

I save my selection list in a separate .csv file as it is very large, my
list changes on monthly bases (only the data not the structure). Now if I
have a new list, I have to delete the form from ODK aggregator and then
upload the old form with the updated .csv. I dont want to delete my data or
rename my form. is there a way to replace only this csv file. We have our
own ODK server with mysql database. I tried to look for this file or the
data inside on the server and mysql database but I couldn't find it.

Thank you for your support

If you simply re-add the form on the server, unchanged, but supply a new
version of the csv (with the same filename) as a media file, that will
replace the original csv file with the one you supply.

Then, when you download the form to your device, it will download just that
changed csv, and, if everything is working correctly, it should drop and
re-build the form's reference data tables from the contents of this new csv.

Hi

Is it possible to update a form in the aggregate server without having to delete or rename it?

Hi @Otundo, if you have a new question that is not related, please start a new topic instead of replying to an old post.
