Recovering excel form from agregate

Support
1

Hello,

Recently I was making some small changes with my form I menage to save it and upload it but there is chance that I mistaken work file with original and overwrite them. Now I have problems with updating my form.

Now I have constantly this comunicate (change form version up few times):

error: Form Already Exists for this Namespace/Id attribute org.opendatakit.aggregate.exception.ODKFormAlreadyExistsException: Form version is not lexically greater than existing form version. Update the form version and resubmit.

Is there any way to compare form from Aggregate with my excel file to eliminate eventual change in form that blokes my update?

All best Bart

Hi Bart,

You can download the raw XML of the form from Aggregate (click on the
form name in the forms list) and diff (tools at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_comparison_tools)
with the XML from the converted Excel file.

As to the error message, it's telling you to make the version bigger
than the current version. You can see the version number in the raw
XML of the form. Just search for "version". If you make that number
larger and the form's structure has not changed, the form upload
should work.
