# Unable to create new data entries

Asked by wexxo on 2019-04-16

Hi OF team,

I keep receiving an error message from Java when trying to import (via csv/excel) and/or enter new data into my survey. The survey has been validated and seems ok. Please see the attached image. I am using OF Collect v. 3.24.19.

What could be the problem?

Thank you so much for your help!

Alex

Dear Alex,  
The problem is related to the maximum number of attributes marked as "qualifier" or with "show in record summary list"; now Collect supports only a maximum of 3 of these attributes.  
We improve the survey validator to include even this validation, meanwhile please fix your survey.  
Many thanks,  
Open Foris Team
