**1. What is the problem? Be very detailed.** When I'm creating a form and I save the form for later, don't save all the data, only save the fields with numbers **2. What app or server are you using and on what device and operating system? Include version numbers.** I'm working with ODK Collect **3. What you have you tried to fix the problem?** I've trying with differents ways to save the data, but don't solved the problem **4. What steps can we take to reproduce the problem?** Look the screen by my cellphone **5. Anything else we should know or have? If you have a test form or screenshots or logs, attach below.** ![MicrosoftTeams-image (4)](https://getodk.b-cdn.net/uploads/default/original/2X/5/59ec7f0b66cfa7259ae8f13a02ec2d223d5f7c37.jpeg) For example: In Departamento was a choose one, and this was not saved because is an option to choose In Municipio was a choose one by Departamento, and this was not saved because is an option to choose In Vereda was a String, and don't saved it In Sector I wrote "Popular 2" as an answer and saved it correctly because have a number "2" In Predio was saved correctly because there were numbers only I need help because I have other 4 forms with the same problems. Thanks a lot. ---

The downloadable version of Build was able to export to XLSForm. It makes it easier to check the form and troubleshoot. Unfortunately the `relevant` and `calculation` don't all migrate cleanly.

There's no reason to Calculate = tablet1piepsilon, it's only an automatic value when I entry to modified the form Maybe is for the credential that're saved on the web site But I deleted the tablet1piepsilon on calculate and now saved the data, so, this was the error Thanks a lot for your help
