What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. attempt to parse the attached file through xlsform.exe
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Valid xml output (optimally with the expected "itemsets.csv" but that's a
different bug)
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.45 on Windows 7
Please provide any additional information below.
From xlsform.org:
"Enabling external selects is straightforward. - Instead of select_one for the
prompt type, use select_one_external. - Instead of the choices sheet, put
external choices in the external_choices sheet."
Suggests that for a form with a large number of options, one should be able to
use external choices so they're loaded from itemsets.csv rather than parsed on
opening the .xml file and wedging up memory.
The only examples The Google can find are cascading choices, all about drilling
down through supersets to a small geographic locality from a larger one. In
each example, the initial choice list is an "example of a standard one" meaning
it is listed in the "choices" tab rather than the "external_choices" tab. If
you have a "select_one_external" without a choice_filter entry (as you would if
it was not part of a cascading list), conversion fails with a
[row : {n}] List name not in choices sheet: {name}
error.
