Question
I defined a mapping, twidl, and made it the default. My downloads are failing, because the data mapping is not working. When I open the Map Data page, it looks like both EC5_AUTO and twidl are defined, along with an option to add a mapping. However, both EC5_AUTO and twidl are highlighted, and selecting either results in EC5_AUTO being used. I can not select twidl to look at it or remove it.
A couple weeks ago, I updated a dropdown question, replacing some answers, but I checked the mapping after doing so, and it looked okay.
I can’t seem to load a screenshot. It just spins on “processing upload”. I’ll try to add one after this initial post. Thanks in advance for any help. I can manage if the project must be deleted and readded.
I confirm I have read the User Guide at docs.epicollect.net

We clicked “MAKE DEFAULT”, and everything looks good again.
Hmm, I looked, and as you say, all looked okay. Then I used Form Builder, edited the Turtle ID question, saved, returned to Map Data, and saw the same thing initially reported. The difference between your screen shot and mine is that on mine both EC5_AUTO and twidl have the pushpin icon next to them.
I tried logging out and back in, and that seemed to resolve the issue, but after using Form Builder again, the problem re-appeared. This time logging out and back in did not resolve it.
Please check again. Feel free to use Form Builder to change the Turtle ID drop down question. I changed an entry then just changed it back.
It is difficult for me to understand – I’ve used EpiCollect with 3-4 projects a year, and haven’t seen anything like it before.
If you suggest, I’ll try deleting and re-adding that particular question (the only one changed since the project was created). Or rebuild the entire form, or delete and re-add the project.
Thanks, I appreciate any help and guidance you can give!
Hey, I just noticed, with both EC5_AUTO and twidl selected, as they appear to be, I see both mappings. EC_AUTO is the first and if I scroll to the bottom I see twidl. Two things: 1) if I click either the first “MAKE DEFAULT” or the second one, it tells me EC5_AUTO is set to the default. 2) the two mappings are inconsistent with respect to the Turtle ID question answers. EC5_AUTO matches what is currently in the form; twidl does not – it shows what was in the form prior to the updates I recently made.
I was able to repeat the condition. After waiting an hour, all looked okay in Map Data. I set twidl as the default. Then edited the Turtle ID question in Form Builder, returned to Map Data to find both EC5_AUTO and twidl highlighted again.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We’ll report this issue to our development team for further investigation. In the meantime, recreating the project might help as a potential workaround.
