Hi Team,
Am trying to include version id in my xlsform (in settings sheet) as 20190821,however when I uppload the form in ODK collect,the version id is shown as string generated by the application.How can I make the desired version id appear on the ODK collect?

How do you use the xls form you shared?
I mean which tool you used to convert it then what is your server you used to download the form?

@stobira the server (ona) you are using convert your version to what you are currently having, it is not from the form you created

Hi @stobira ,

Just to add on that. I have used kobo, the version number is auto-generated by the system ie kobo when you deploy the form. A workaround so that it is visible will be to modify the title and append it at the end. Eg FormName - 0201v
