Additional Information

This issue is related to the features and functionality of Microsoft Excel, and not Survey123 Connect. The Survey123 templates use data validation and other features of Excel to provide additional error checking and guidance to the user where possible. As these are features of Excel, the timing and how the validation is applied when copying and pasting cells, is the behaviour of Excel.

Workaround

  • Select Save instead of Update to refresh the survey.
  • Clear the dashed lines around the copied cells by pressing Esc.
  • Copy and paste the entire row instead of a few cells.
