Hi, @chrissyhroberts! I see you're pulling forms from Central. Currently, Central doesn't add a submission date to submissions like Aggregate does. Therefore, date range filters and --smart_append won't work as you expect.

At this moment, I'm not sure how could we support these features for forms pulled from Central.
