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.

v13.20

Changed

• Improved a series of behaviors related to form item drag/drop:
  • Grouped items can now be dragged up out of groups instead of dragging down first
  • If a question to be moved contains a skip rule, it now cannot be moved after its target (i.e, the question that will be skipped to)
  • If the question to be moved is a skip rule target (i.e., it is a question that would be skipped to if certain conditions were true), it now cannot be moved before the question that refers to it
  • Updated translations & other smaller tweaks
