# calculated only one time error

Asked by beka on 2019-03-29

Dear OF team,

At last update a very useful tool was added to Collect ( I mean "calculated only one time") for what I would like to express my gratitude. 

but during the test it turned out that this function works well in mobile, but after uploading the already exported file to the Collect there appears the time of export. please see the link

Dear OF team,

Do you have any news regarding our request?

Dear OF Team,

We were wondering if there is any chance to speed up the process of fixing the hidden time stamp issue for some of the variables? As we would like to see how well the teams are working.
It would be great if you could help us with this issue.  

Thank you for the support!

Best,

Rahel

Dear OF team,

We are working in 1.7.3 version of Collect mobile but we have same problem.  "calculated only one time" - works well only in case it is not hidden ("show in entry form" is marked). but if it is hidden,  export time from the tablet is given to all the variables, instead the time when those variables were measured. see the link.

Dear Beka,  
Unfortunately this fix won't be ready by the beginning of August, so please show all the "calculated one time" attributes meanwhile.  
Many thanks,
