Hi @ronantaylorware,

Please try to reapply the most recent changes made to the project. You can review the latest versions of the data in QFieldCloud and identify which modifications need to be reapplied to synchronize the changes.

You can also force the download of projects from QFieldCloud by following these steps:

Close the project in QGIS if it's currently open.
Locate the project folder on your computer and create a backup in a secure location.
Delete all files within the project folder.
Open QGIS and click on the cloud icon of QFieldSync.
Select the project and click on the "Synchronize" button.
Choose the option "Prefer from the cloud" and proceed to download.

Alternatively, you can use the QFieldCloud SDK Python with API connection. Here's an example script you can use in Python QGIS:


import requests
from qfieldcloud_sdk import sdk

client = sdk.Client(url="https://app.qfield.cloud/api/v1/")
client.login(
    username="real_username",
    password="real_password"
)

client.download_project(
    project_id="XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXX-XXX-XXXXXXXX",
    local_dir='./',
    show_progress=True,
    force_download=True,
)

Replace "real_username", "real_password", and "project_id" with the actual information.

Thanks for your response

re-applying did work, however i dont want to re-apply every change. Good news is it looks to be working as expected today.

Note when it wasn't working i did force download the project, i selected a new project location and used a different username and the project came through the same, without the changes applied

Not sure what if anything changed between then and now, but as i said it is working today.

thanks for your time.
