v13.24
Added
Added new button to Form pages: Export XLSForm (experimental)
to download an Excel file in XLSForm format. See also beginner's docs here: https://docs.getodk.org/xlsform-first-form/
Currently supported features in the experimental release:
- All question types -- except for signature, sketch, and cascading (multi-level) select
- Skip/display logic
- Logical groups
- Repeat groups
- Option set "choices" XLS tab
- Form "settings" XLS tab
- Translation into default mission locale
Not yet supported in the experimental release:
- Question hints
- Additional translations beyond your mission's default language
- Some question/group settings such as hidden/disabled, media prompts, default answers, repeat limits
- Default form response name
Known issues to be fixed:
- If the last item in a form is a group, you'll need to manually type "end group" below it
- Certain characters in option set option names fail to import into ODK Central, including spaces, and must be renamed
- Certain XPath references fail to import into ODK Central, and must be renamed
- Let us know if you find more!
The exported file is meant to be human-readable and human-editable to add any missing features.
As always, there are lots of smaller things under the hood; see entire history of changes, list of main releases, and technical upgrade guides for more.
