Form builder crash when group question is duplicated

Hi there, hoping for a bit of help.

I am creating a branch question, that leads to a group question. I would like to duplicate the group question within the branch, but each time I try, the form crashes.

Is there a limit to the number of group questions within a branch?

Currently, Epicollect5 allows a maximum of 300 questions per a single form, and a maximum number of 5 linked (hierarchy) forms.

Could you kindly share an example, possibly with screenshots, illustrating the issue you’re encountering? Moreover, please provide the name of the project(s) affected by the issue.

Your insights will greatly assist in understanding and resolving the problem.

Thank you.

Hi there,
The project is called ’ CLMBMP ROCKY SHORE QUADRAT V2’. My intention is to have one main form that leads to three child forms for three transects. Within each child form I have created three branch questions (shore zone), and within each branch, 4 groups (quadrats), that contain three questions.

When I try to copy the quadrat group, the form stops working. I hope my explanation makes sense, its a little confusing!

Image 1: Child form ‘Transect 1’ containing 3 branches (shore zone)

Image 2: Inside 1 branch (upper zone), showing the first group (quadrat). It is when I try to copy this group to add another quadrat the form stops working.

Thank you for your help.

Thanks for the details.

We can reproduce the issue on our side and are working on it.

The issue should now be resolved. If you experience any further problems, please let us know.

Hi there,
Thank you for your help, that seems to be working now. However, when duplicating the groups (quadrat) within each branch (transect zone) there is an error: ‘Too many titles (branch)’. Have I exceeded the question limit?

To identify each entry, you can set some of your question answers to be part of the entry title (up to a maximum of 3 for either a form or a branch )

Many thanks, that makes sense! All sorted now, thanks for your help :slightly_smiling_face:
