Hi Team,
1. I am pasting manually text for each and every variable. Have defined the set of languages required.
But when I paste text for 1 of the variables. It again goes to form view. and then again I have to click on CAPI screen to add another text for the next variable. After pasting it again goes to form view.
We are facing uncomfortable while pasting the questions. After pasting few questions it doesn't move to form view (it gets resolved, but at the start it happens for few variables).

2. Is there any way to directly upload the excel file (with 1st column containing the variable names and the 2nd column containing the translated labels).

3. Also if survey is launched and the version is updated. We get a doubt whether the existing logic/functions defined in the program will work perfectly in the updated version.

4. Can you please confirm that if a numeric variable is of 12 digit. And a value of 12 digit is entered during entry. But when we export, we will get the same value when we download the data from the ftps.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

2] You can use the Question Text Macro option within CSPro's CAPI dropdown menu (the last item).

Note you'll see the syntax for the pasting on the dialog itself that gets launched. If you're using languages, you'll have to insert a column in your Excel file with the name of the language. Note that formatting does not get carried forward when pasting multiple question text over (see Greg's recent posting about that here: https://www.csprousers.org/forum/viewto ... ext#p14340)

3] Could you explain a bit more what problems you anticipate having? Are you concerned about CSEntry getting updated, or your application? If CSEntry, in general there are very few problems when version updates occur.

If you enter a data value of 123456789012, what value are you getting in your datafile after downloading it?
