Couldn't load subscription status.
- Fork 206
Description
Edit: maybe "reject" is a better approach than "warn".
Especially unnamed, unlabeled groups. These will have newly auto-generated names assigned each time the XLSForm is re-uploaded. kobotoolbox/formpack#206 can be triggered by this, but even when that is fixed, groups whose names change with every version are going to create a mess in the exports (likely new columns for each group [1] [2] [3]).
Internal discussion: https://chat.kobotoolbox.org/#narrow/stream/4-KoBo-Dev/topic/Export.20failure.20on.20multiple.20versions/near/21509
How to reproduce:
- create an XLSForm with a repeating group that has both no name and no label unnamed and unlabeled repeat.xlsx
- upload it to KPI
- look at the form json; see (e.g.)
begin_repeat_oqAkea1ft - upload the same XLSForm again
- refresh the json
- see (e.g.)
begin_repeat_B8cPyAGB7; notice it's different than the name seen in (3)
Workaround for when this happens (or even when people deliberately change group names): https://community.kobotoolbox.org/t/export-failed-error/13957. I'm unsure whether the workaround can be used in all cases.
