Good Morning Igor and welcome to the ODK community forum.

I get a lot of error from xlsform online when trying to transform your form to xml. How did you git the xml version of your form ?

A lot of item have the same name.
Maybe you could try to create a repeat for the 35 crop you want to describe for each plot location. It will be easier to manage the form (ex. add a new crop, name 30 item with different names) and will make data analysis easier too.
So for the moment it is impossible to reproduce the error you get.

I read on your introduction that you are running Kobo so my warnings are maybe not relevant... but I don't know kobo.
Let's get other advices

Hello Mathieu,

that was very fast and helpful. But unfortunately I'm not an expert in coding (still can't believe I did this form that works at all). So let me clarify, you suggest to erase choose_many option in crop question and to have only integer question, and than repeat question for every inserted crop with following questions?

Thanks a lot.

Isn't that the same? KoBoToolbox and ODK?

[mathieubossaert]

Here a simplification of your form, as a test, not the truth But with this repeat over crop list you will have to manage only one name for each item.
I had to rename 2 "function" elements. Elements can't share a same name because ODK will not be able to know which one you refer to when using ${function} . I create firm_function and gvt_function.
Repeat description over crop list will.

Your form is very inspiring for a project we have here in south France with wine growers and other farmers

Again, thanks a lot. Looks like you know what you are talking about, but still..now I have option to pick only one crop per plot, and additional questions doesn't appear after I select crop but rather they are there immediately (that could confuse person which populate date).

[imatanovic]

And yes...thanks for that function correction, I haven't realized I had two same names.

[mathieubossaert]

I understand.
You have another option to loop inside the crop repeat until the user select "no more crop" :

XLS form- Repeat select_one question until "A" is selected

It should be something like if (${count} = 0 or (/indefinite-repeat/person[position()=${count}]/choice != 'a' and /indefinite-repeat/person[position()=${count}]/age >= 50), ${count} + 1, ${count}) We're defining a continuing condition so we need to reverse your ending condition. You want to end when "a" is selected or age < 50 so the negation is to continue as long as "a" is not selected AND age is greater than or equal to 50. If you want to know more about why the or becomes an and, …

Maybe first start with your version and upgrade the form if needed later.
Start with your version, You will be able o upgrade it.

I-m sorry, but I don't understand that.

[mathieubossaert]

Sorry if I introduced some confusion. The post is a bit tricky if you start using xlsform. Instead of asking the user if he want to describe a new crop, the crop list (select_one) appears again and again until the user "say stop". It make use of a test in the repeat_count column.

Once again you can start with all the crops already visible in the form. And upgrade the form later if needed.
