Use of indexed-repeat() function for 4 groups

Support
1

I have a form with 4 separated repeated-group questions with each , more than 10 questions.
Saving a filled of that form doesn’t work and I get an error mesage indicating that I should use indexed-repeat function ; to my knowledge, the use of indexed-repeat function for a group requires creating a calculation type question for each question of that group : according to this, I wonder if in my case of 4 repeated group, I’m obliged to create as many calculations field as questions in my 4 groups ?
In advance, thanks for your help.

Apologies, I'm not sure of the answer to your question. However, if your are able to upload the survey form (that is, the questions are not private), it may help someone better troubleshoot your problem.

I'm sorry, but using ODK Collect v1.8.1 and a formhub instance, I was unable to reproduce your issue. I added more than 10 answer groups to each set of questions, was able to save/send the form, and then download the submission data Thread_Survey_2017_07_31_13_50_50.csv (2.8 KB). Did I misunderstand the actions that lead to the problem?

Hi, Danb.
Sorry for the delay for my reply.
Can you, pls, post the XLSform you've used?
Thanks,

See Thread_Survey.xlsx (8.4 KB) and also below. Ah, but maybe it is because I only have more than 10 questions total, and not 10+ in each group. Can you attach the section of your form that is not working?
