Hi all, i have tested the ODK Collect v1.14 Beta with google sheet on two instances they they all work perfectly for me. below are the instances i used it on 1. single repeat group 2. repeat group inside repeat group. but i have a suggestion with regards to the instanceID, the instanceID for the main data is the same to that of the repeat group instanceID which is perfect. but can there be another ID which could be uniquely identifying the entries in the repeat group sheets since they are all using the main data instanceID. like if we could have something like, **key** and **parent kay** where the parent kay will serve as main instanceID and the key will be for the repeat group entries id. example: **current situation** main instanceID uuid:0818e2b8-427c-4693-b8b4-0b2a18d0dd6e repeat groupID uuid:0818e2b8-427c-4693-b8b4-0b2a18d0dd6e uuid:0818e2b8-427c-4693-b8b4-0b2a18d0dd6e uuid:0818e2b8-427c-4693-b8b4-0b2a18d0dd6e **suggestion** main instanceID uuid:0818e2b8-427c-4693-b8b4-0b2a18d0dd6e repeat groupID uuid:0818e2b8-427c-4693-b8b4-0b2a18d0dd6e-1 uuid:0818e2b8-427c-4693-b8b4-0b2a18d0dd6e-2 uuid:0818e2b8-427c-4693-b8b4-0b2a18d0dd6e-3 The above is an example of a 1 main data with 3 repeated entry. thank you [fabla2020@gmail.com](mailto:fabla2020@gmail.com) --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.getodk.org/t/repeat-groups-and-google-sheets-upload/6677)._
