My xlsforms convert to XML without error using the online converter at
(ODK - XLSForm Online v2.x). I loaded the .xml into CommCare via
Actions > XForms > Upload. Initially I get a warning 'Form does not have a
Version attribute (in the data block), one will be added automatically' but
otherwise they load ok. When I try to actually fill in the follow up form
either on the online formplayer 2.37 or the actual tablet app I receive the
following error(s):
Calculation Error: Error in calculation for /FormName/VariableName cannot
handle function 'once'
Calculation Error: Error in calculation for /FormName/VariableName cannot
handle function 'decimal-date-time'
The syntax listed in the error by CommCare ('once(), 'decimal-date-time',
...) are in the reference list at XLSForm.org under
calculation section and the forms seem to work without error in ODK and
Enketo.
I can certainly try to remove functions from my xlsforms that CommCare
doesn't support but is there way to know what is supported to ensure forms
are supported by CommCare? Should I use something like ODK Validate for a
previous version of ODK? If so, which version is appropriate for the
definition in use by CommCare?
We list our supported functions here https://confluence.dimagi.com/display/commcarepublic/CommCare+Functions.
Probably the closest/easiest method we have to validate whether we support
certain functions this is the process you followed; namely, uploading the
form and seeing if CommCare errors or not.

Hi,
I am new to CommCare and interested in using it for the case mgmt feature.
I have already built xlsforms, which I wish to use as the follow up forms
