Offline column not accepted by ODK Central 2025.2.3

1. What is the issue? Please be detailed.

I added an “offline” column in my ODK form for offline entities, but it throws an error during upload:

The XLSForm could not be converted: The entities sheet included the following unexpected column(s): 'offline'. These columns are not supported by this version of pyxform. Please either: check the spelling of the column names, remove the columns, or update pyxform.

Please help on this issue.

The offline column was introduced temporarily as an opt-in feature for testing offline entities. That opt-in has since been removed, and offline entities now work by default without requiring this column.

Because of that, the offline column is no longer recognized and causes the upload error.
Please remove the offline column from the entities sheet and upload the form again.

Ok, I have checked that offline entities are working fine.

Thanks Grzesiek.:slight_smile:
