Hello,
I have a text input (type = string) in my survey that needs to allow more
than 255 characters.
Is there a way to increase this limit in the .xls form?
Or, must I modify the converted .xml file according to the instructions
here:
http://opendatakit.org/help/form-design/guidelines/
Thank you.
I experimented with modifying the .xml form. I added the text:
odk:length="600"
To the end of the bind nodeset tag for which I need to increase the
allowable text length.
When I try to upload to ODK Aggregate, I get the following error:
Error: Problem with JavaRosa Parsing Form:
org.opendatakit.aggregate.exception.ODKIncompleteSubmissionData:
org.javarosa.xform.parse.XFormParseException: Unhandled Exception while

Hey!
I tried the same workaround with xlmns and bind, and I receive the following error message when I try to upload the xml to aggregate:
"Error: Problem with JavaRosa Parsing Form: org.opendatakit.aggregate.exception.ODKIncompleteSubmissionData: org.javarosa.xform.parse.XFormParseException: XML Syntax Error at Line: 1, Column: 5!"
I double-checked and cant see the syntax error 
it looks as follows:
<?xml version="1.0"?><h:html
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2002/xforms"
xmlns:ev="http://www.w3.org/2001/xml-events"
xmlns:h="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:jr="http://openrosa.org/javarosa"
xmlns:orx="http://openrosa.org/xforms/"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:odk="http://www.opendatakit.org/xforms"
Any ideas?
thanks,
Jevgeniy
The trick when adding the xmlns:odk="http://www.opendatakit.org/xforms" +
odk:length="xxxx" (where xxxx is the required string length) to your xml
form is:
#1 the text/xml editor you use to modify your xml form greatly matters
(e.g. in windows many of them add the encoding="utf-8" after the xml
version="1.0" >> error when validating/uploading the form;
#2 when validating the correctly modified form with ODK Validate 1.4.5 for
ODK Collect v1.4.5 and newer.jar, you will get a warning message, though
the form is okay, upploadable to aggregate and will work (=store text
strings up to the char.length you specified in the variable) like this:
Problem found at nodeset: /html/head/model/bind
With element <bind nodeset="/ODK_test7_sza/singular_list/list_spp"
type="string" length="2000"/>

I found this out after 2 days' struggle

Steven,
What error message do you get if you validate the form with ODK
Validate? And can you share the entire bind tag you used?

I'd recommend running the sample_form.xls through XLSForm and using that as
an example of how the XML should look. http://opendatakit.org/use/xlsform/

I realized that I didn't add the xmlns alias. With that added, I get this
message from ODK Validate:

It appeared to upload successfully to ODK Aggregate, but immediately after

the problem persists.
Is this an unrelated problem?

Hi Mitch,
I did as you suggested, the sample_form.xml looks the same with the difference that I added the line below in order to increase the string length:
xmlns:odk="http://www.opendatakit.org/xforms"
Since I received an error in Agreage, I then blindly added '/' at the end of ../xforms to make it look as follows:
xmlns:odk="http://www.opendatakit.org/xforms/"
Agregate didnt complain with this change, so the form is uploaded successfully this time. But when I write >255 characters ODK collect, it still cuts off at 255, after I upload the submission.
Here is the bind code whereby I added odk:length="600" in the end. Can you see why it didnt work?
thanks mate,
Jevgeniy
Hi Steven,
The multiple refresh is not related, but it is a known issue. See the
"Repairing your AppEngine Database Yourself" section at
https://code.google.com/p/opendatakit/wiki/AppEngineTroubleshooting to
fix it.

Ok problem solved! Couldnt reproduce the error message anymore in Xform Upload. works without "/" after xforms.
J.
To make this work, you need to completely delete your old form and its
data, then upload the new form.
If you merely updated the form definition with a new version, it would
still have the original size and ignore this change (that could be
considered a bug with detecting significant changes in forms).
If you need the existing data, download that using Briefcase, then delete
the form on the server, upload a revision with a newer version attribute,
then push the data back up to the server using ODK Briefcase. It should
detect that the form on the server is newer, and just push the existing
data back up into it.
