Hi,
Is it possible to pull out the XML coding of the forms from deployed ODK
agregate? I have a form loaded in the aggregate which has some 200
questions, but we do not have its original XML file (the coder has lost it).
Any way to retrieve the basic form from the aggregate?
Regards,
Saad
I think you mean XLS file (Excel file?)?
Short answer: no.
Long answer: I think someone had written a tool that recreates an XLS file
from the XML (but this will necessarily be incomplete and error prone).
The ODK tools all use the XML file as the basis for everything, and that is
what is available on ODK Aggregate as the "Form Definition".
I highly recommend uploading the originating XLS file as a media
attachment so that it is always available and never lost.
(You can upload "media attachments" that are never referenced within the
form; that's how external csv content files work).
Uploading it as a media attachment will cause it to be copied to all your
devices and add some to the overall bandwidth during form updates, but once
the form is up-to-date, it costs nothing, and the risk of losing track of
the originating XLS file is far worse.

Not XLS, but the XML file. The one which is the output of
build.opendatakit.org platform, and is first downloaded locally and then
uploaded to the aggregate.
If you click on the form title in the Form List, you'll get the raw XML.

Great! I think this is exactly what I was looking for.
