OTHER field data not exporting in KPI #1351

Closed KashifMalick closed 3 years ago

KashifMalick commented 7 years ago

The problem occurs when you use a very specific syntax for "others", and more specifically when you append "or_other" to the select_one or select_multiple types of questions (instead of creating a dedicated text type line.

Example of problematic syntax:

type name label::English select_one HR_Cat or_other A_HR_Cat A.07. Are you a Humanitarian Affairs Officer (HAO) or an Information Management Officer (IMO)?

In that case, the export will show the choice "other", but there is no dedicated column for the specified other (see column AI or AJ) other
