I dug into this and there are two bugs in pyxform that are causing problems in Collect. 1. If you have a space or special character (e.g., quote marks) as the name/value of a select option, pyxform should warn you. In this case, it's not warning you because there is a choice\_filter. That's a bug. 2. In the case where you don't have a choice\_filter, pyxform does warn, but it should instead throw an error and prevent the creation of the XML because if you have a space the value won't be saved (which to me is data loss that a user may not notice). I have filed the issue at [https://github.com/XLSForm/pyxform/issues/175](https://github.com/XLSForm/pyxform/issues/175). As a workaround, please remove the spaces from the name column in your choices sheet.
