Odkmeta error invalid name attribute '' invalid name() suboption invalid survey() option

Hi all, I'm using odkmeta to import data into Stata 16. I'm getting the following error:

invalid name attribute ''
invalid name() suboption
invalid survey() option
Links to the relevant files:
Survey:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/cwfc1b3d8toe03s/pilot_main_surveysheet_v1.csv?dl=0
Choices:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/vdv9d6s79d5oz1y/pilot_main_choicessheet2.csv?dl=0

The survey and choices files are non UTF 8 csv files and contain no non-ASCII characters. The partial output from a trace is below:
- loc first = r(min)
- if "listvars'" != "" li listvars' in `first', ab(32)

Hi @ccmullally! odkmeta lists the row of the XLSForm that resulted in the error message. In this case, it seems to be row 518, where there is a group without a name. I noticed that the group does have a name in the Excel file you posted here, so maybe there was an issue converting the XLSForm to CSV?

Hope that helps!
