Data Collected using Mobile Patrol Package Importing as Survey Data

Hi There

A bit of a strange one. We converted some tree attributes in our Data Model into multi-select lists as we needed a multi-select functionality and trees cannot be multi-select (a feature that would be amazing if possible!). Basically, we disabled the old tree attribute, and created multiple multi-select attributes that captured the same data as the tree nodes once did. In the Configurable Model (CM), we selected the option to “collect multiple observations” for our new multi-select lists. We otherwise had the exact same CM format as our previous, tree-containing CM, and exported this to SMART Mobile using a patrol package.

We collected trial data, and when we opted to import the data from the phone, SMART automatically asked us to create a new survey and mission, as if we were importing Survey Data. Does anyone know why this is happening? Is there any work around, as it doesn’t make sense for this data to be in a survey format?

Thank you very much for the help.

All the best
