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.
