Urgent: recurrent KoboCollect error when reviewing form

I am part of a research team working on a nationwide poverty survey in Lebanon. We've finalized the form and tested it with a group of 70 data collectors.

The form works well except for the fact that after we save it and try to review the filled questions on the tablet, we get the following error: "Unfortunately, KoboCollect has stopped".

I attached a screen shot of it and of the form we are using. This is very problematic as supervisors will be reviewing the filled data on a daily basis with data collectors before the forms are submitted.

The survey starts on July 18 and the team is working hard on trying to fix the error in our form. We've noticed that the error is definitely related to our repeated groups, since once we remove them the error goes away.

Is anyone able to help us in finding a way to keep the repeated groups and solve the error to be able to review the forms and edit them?

Thank you,
Alexandra

It is likely that there are references to fields within the repeat group
that are not relative XPaths.

When testing, you should see errors when you add the 2nd repeat to the
repeat group, or when you open a saved form containing 2 or more repeats.

See https://opendatakit.org/help/form-design/#xpath_expressions

Note that this is a list for the base ODK Collect software.

I have no idea what support KoBo collect has for relative XPaths. It
depends upon how old your software is v.s. ODK Collect 1.4.10

Hey Mitch,

Thanks for the help. Will read up on the Xpaths. But note that I am getting an error even when I make sure I only have 1 repeat instance in the filled form. Or it doesn't matter because anyways the form is built in a way to include more than one repeat?

Dear Mitch,

Please note that the problem turned out to be simple. We just had to add a label to the repeat group row and the error got fixed!

Thanks,
Alexandra
