Hi Andrew,
I need your help again. I took the xls file that you helped us convert to
xml on http://xform-prod.mvpafrica.org/ and added constraints, constraint
messages, relevances (skip patterns), and required fields (xls attached).
When I try to convert the updated xls file at
http://xform-prod.mvpafrica.org/ I get the XML but the added constraints,
constraint messages, relevances (skip patterns), and required fields do not
apply when I transfer the xml to the phone and start filling out the
questionnaire.
I am not XML literate, but I took a look that the xml file (attached)
produced at http://xform-prod.mvpafrica.org/ and it does not seem to contain
the entries for the added fields. I expected some of the additions to not
work due to formatting issues, etc... which I will need to perfect, but
fixing the absence of the xml code for these elements is beyond my skill
level.
I have also created a separate results form using the xls file you sent us
with modifications for the questionnaire and the same problem applies. (Also
attached)
I also tried to convert the xls to xml at http://xls2xform.opendatakit.org/,
but I get similar error messages to those first encountered. "Conversion
Error: ('Unknown question type', u'start time', 'base')"
I would really appreciate your help again. Thanks.
Mike

Hi Andrew,
Sorry for the delay. I am attaching our xls file now (ending with
110917md). Also we were able to convert an earlier and much shorter
version
of the same questionnaire. I am also attaching it (ending with
110831md)
and the corresponding xml.
Thanks for your help.
Mike.

Hi Mike,
I changed some of the column headers, the most important was changing
"relevance" to "bind:relevant" so that field will show up in the right
place in the XForm. When you convert the attached file you will see an
error message about an invalid XPath expression. ODK Validate doesn't
like the bind:relevant entry that looks like:
${Determine_Result}='invalid', 'indeterminate'
Instead, I think you want to write:
${Determine_Result}='invalid' or ${Determine_Result}='indeterminate'
Hope this helps,
Andrew
