Is it possible to have a geoshape or geotrace as a pulldata?

Support

Hi!
1. What is the issue? Please be detailed.
I'm trying to automatically pull a geoshape or a geotrace with some that I already have. I already constructed the pulldata doc, and created a text line so I can see if the points are peing pulled correctly, which seems they are. However, when I try to add the pulldata function to the geoshape or geotrace question, the odk validator says it is not possible. The following error shows up.

(>> Something broke the parser. See above for a hint.
Error evaluating field 'geoshape' (${parcel_description_repeat}[1]/parcel_planting_data[1]/geoshape[1]): For input string: "geometry"
Caused by: java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "geometry"
... 10 more)

Is this feature still not available, or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks for any help you could provide!

Hi @Paula_Diaz
When you get a chance, please introduce yourself here. I'd also encourage you to add a real picture as your avatar because it helps build community!

It looks like a bug in the converter. I had a similar error when I used this form:
pull_geotrace.xlsx (6.5 KB)
geotrace.csv (460 Bytes)

what I did to solve it was:

  • removing the calculation from the geotrace question
  • converting the xls form to XML
  • adding the calculation manually

Here is the output:
pull_geotrace.xml (1.4 KB)
and it seems to work well.
