ODK Entities Troubleshooting: Outage Reporting Create & Update in One Form

Hi @OForbes ,

Welcome to ODK Forum, if you have a moment, feel free to introduce yourself here

I looked into your form and found a couple of issues:

  • For the entity ID, we need to use once(uuid()). It cannot be concatenated with any text—it must strictly be in UUID format.

  • In the entities sheet, the expressions for entity_id, create_if, and update_if currently have a space between the single quotes. These should be empty strings, i.e., ''.

PS: You can use ODK XLSForm Template for better structuring your Form and to access quick help / cheatsheet.
