Sync Offline - Online

1. What is the issue?

I have an XLSForm form called “Entreprises” that creates an “entreprise” entity. I collect data from ODK Collect - ODK Central. The form has two text fields, ‘enseigne’ and “denomination” which are used to calculate a "label" field using the following formula:
if(boolean(${enseigne}),concat(${denomination},' (',${enseigne},')'),${denomination})
This “label” field is saved as the “denomination” property of the “enterprise” entity that will be created. My version of ODK Collect (2026.2.0 Beta 0) has an “Experimental” Feature that lets me view the list of entities already available.
When I collect data offline, the form is visible in “Ready to Send,” and the created entity is visible in ‘Experimental’ with its “denomination” field exactly as expected. However, when I go online, the data is sent to the server, and there, the value of the “denomination” property of the created entity is empty. Furthermore, when I check again in “Experimental,” I see that the “denomination” property no longer has a value.

Hi @NMH

Does it work well with ODK Collect v 2026.1?

Actually, I think that the issue is related to ODK Central. I usually install updates straight away. It worked fine with version 2025.2.3 and earlier of ODK Central paired with 2025.3.3 of ODK Collect. It has been malfunctioning since version 2025.3.0 of ODK Central
