This is an issue that was reported to Ona community and I will like to get more information from the team on the experience you had with Enketo older versions.
Ona runs on Enketo V 3..1..0
In summary, the problem is that:
1. Pressing “+” inside the repeat group adds a repeat group and adds one more page, but
2. Does not take the user immediately to the first question of the new repeat group (like it used to do, sometime back)
I checked with three different forms, two of I did long ago. In the past, pressing “+” inside a repeat group added a repeat group and took the user immediately to the first question in the new repeat group. But now it no longer does this on any of the forms.
You can reproduce the strange behavior with the enclosed xls form.
Also, I made a
short video where I step through the example test form and show the changed behavior.
I also tried the forms out on Kobotools to see if that mattered, and the “new” behavior happens there too.
Thus, it seems possible that the change of behavior results from some change at the level of ODK or Enketo. Of course (and what is more likely), I also may be making some silly mistake.
Please advise. The new behavior confuses the enumerators, who are not very sophisticated with phone apps, so it would be very convenient to revert to the previous behavior of the “+” button inside repeat groups.
