Missing Number of Respondent in the csdb file

Post by lusia »

Dear CSPro Team,
Is it possible to have missing No. of Respondent? I found some csdb files to have missing No. of Respondent when in fact I set the number item to auto increment and protected and I've set up the Delete function to be locked in the pff file.
Here are the screenshots of the csdb files.

I'll send the csdb files if you need it.
Kindly please help me again. Thank you in advance.

Warm Regards,

Is "no of respondent" a variable in your application? It seems like that would depend on your application logic and where the value gets set.

Yes, it is a variable in my app. I didn't put any logic in the variable. I set up the variable field properties to auto increment and protected. And this variable is included in the ID items.

If these are partially saved cases it is possible that the variable was not yet reached and is therefore blank. Otherwise it should be filled in.

I'm sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by "the variable was not yet reached".
Could you please explain? Thank you very much.

If it is the 4th variable on the form and you do a partial save while one the 1st, 2nd or 3rd variable then you have not yet reached the field.
