Problem with indexed-repeat()

[Moya Chin]

I'm having trouble with the function indexed-repeat() that is not making sense to me.  In my file, it is row 85.  Essentially, the second part of the form asks the interviewer to cycle through the household members who are considered eligible.  To do this, I have added a prompt that checks what individual the interviewer inputs, and checks if the household member is eligible based on the information inputted into a previous repeated group. When I "grab" the form from my tablet, it comes up with an error  "error evaluating field 'q3_0d' the problem was located in relevant expression.  Xpath evaluation: type mismatch.  This field is repeated: (and it lists the instance of the field I am referencing).  You may need to use the indexed-repeat function to specify which value you want"

However, I get this error on MY tablet, but a colleague is NOT getting the error on her tablet.  This form has also been working previously on MY tablet, except I uploaded one update (unrelated to this field) and am getting this error now.  Any ideas?  Thanks!

Hi Moya,

I tried loading your form on different devices and never had an issue like the one you described. If you're still experiencing it I'd suggest deleting all blank forms from your device in Collect, or re-installing KoBoCollect. It appears like this is an issue with a cached version of your form.

Hi Tino,

Someone else has gotten this same error today.  They managed to take a picture of the screen.

I have already tried deleting all forms and reinstalling KoBo toolbox in the earlier instance that this happened, but this didn't solve the problem.  Do you have any other suggestions?

Hi all,

I am having a similar issue with a picture question and don't really have any clue about how to fix it. I have tried to cancel older forms, also reinstalled Kobotoolbox but this got worse. Now I receive the error message at the beginning of the questionnaire and not anymore at the specific question.

Thanks a lot for your support

Hi Marcello,

Can you describe your issue in more detail please? Exact steps you're taking to reproduce it, a link to your form or as an attachment here, and any screenshots showing the error would be great. Without those it's impossible to troubleshoot unfortunately. 

Best,

Tino
