Facing issue with the upgrade version of ODK Collect app (v2021.2.2).

1. What is the problem be very detailed?
   Facing issue with the new version of odk collect app (v2021.2.2).

First test run results:
• ODK collect keeps stopping.
• We were unable to fill the forms properly.
• Unable to send final submissions to the server.

Second test run result:
• Got error on the same question, and now because of incorrect usage of calculation in the form, but this issue was not there in the collect's previous version i.e. v1.30.1.
• Unable to fill the form properly due to which we were not able to send the submissions to the server.

2.What app or server are you using and on what device and operating system? Include version number.
ODK Central v1.1.1, ODK Collect upgraded version i.e. v2021.2.2

3. What you have tried to fix the problem?
   The problem is resolved by installing the previous version of odk collect app i.e. v1.30.1. All the forms works smoothly with this version of collect app.

4.What steps can we take to reproduce the problem?
Attaching the xlsx survey form, you can use it with the upgrade version of collect app in this way you’ll be able to reproduce the error.

5.Anything else we should know or have? If you have a test form or screenshot or logs attached below?
Xlsx survey and screen recording of both versions are attached for your reference.

Would really appreciate it, if anyone of you please help me in solving this error.

Hi @Sidra-adnan
Thanks for the detailed description that really helped to track down the issue quickly.

Your form has a form design issue in the way you use dynamic defaults. A short answer would be: You need to add a trigger. Please read the documentation: https://docs.getodk.org/form-logic/#dynamic-defaults-from-form-data
Here you can find an explanation of the same problem if you want to know more details and understand what happens under the hood: #4750
I'm also attaching a fixed version of your form. I just added one columns (highlighted in yellow):
form-odk.1.xlsx

Please let us know if it works for you and for next time the forum is a better place for reporting problems like this one.

Hi @grzesiek2010,

Thank you for your swift response. This was helpful!
I hope this minor change will not affect the submissions that are already there on odk central?

if you update your form and download a new version everything should be fine.
