Responses to "label" fields in the table-list appearance

Support

1. What is the problem? Be very detailed.
We have deployed an online survey including questions in table-list format. To program the appearance I used "label"/"list-nolabel" appearance. Looking at the first set of responses we received answers to the field with appearance "label". This should not be possible and has never happened before.

2. What app or server are you using and on what device and operating system? Include version numbers.
Kobotoolbox powered by Enketo.

3. What you have you tried to fix the problem?
Nothing yet. I haven't seen any similar reported problems on ODK or Kobotoolbox forum.

4. What steps can we take to reproduce the problem?

5. Anything else we should know or have? If you have a test form or screenshots or logs, attach below.

@Aline_Semaan,
Just set question/row with the label appearance to read_only (column) true or true() or yes. This is only an issue for Enketo (Web form). It seems fine for Collect.

As a workaround, you might either except the "bug" at the moment or use table-list structure in Enketo. (But its layout is slightly different. See XLSForm Template - Few missing Appearances - #4 by wroos)

Be aware that this will hide the labels in Collect: when a question is read-only in Collect, only its value is shown, not the controls for the question type.
