1. What is the issue? Please be detailed.
I am using ruODK (v1.4.0) in R (R version 4.3.1) to import data from a current survey we are collecting using ODK. For previous surveys, I have used the option within ruODK::odata_submission_rectangle(names_sep = NULL) to remove the group name prefixes from the variable names that are loaded into R. Currently I am getting an error related to the GPS coordinates collected by ODK:
Error in `tidyr::unnest_wider()`:
ℹ In column: `coordinates`.
ℹ In row: 1.
Caused by error:
! Can't unnest elements with missing names.
ℹ Supply `names_sep` to generate automatic names.
2. What steps can we take to reproduce this issue?
Try importing a survey with GPS coordinates to R using ruODK.
3. What have you tried to fix the issue?
I have tried supplying names_sep with different patterns, including the default "_". While this prevents the error and allows me to create a dataframe, all of the group names are included as prefixes to the variable names, creating lengthy variable names, which is what the names_sep = NULL option is designed to avoid.
