Dear Stefano et al., Just for your information: while comparing the preview and the published version of a Collect survey, I found that the unit labels differ. The preview is using the label field (like m for meter), while the published version is using the unit name (which is usually too long for the form).

Dear Lutz,
There is no difference between the preview and the published version in terms of visualization.
The problem can be that maybe you have unit labels in different languages: the preview shows the labels in the language selected in the survey designer, while the "published" version uses the language of your web browser and if a label in that language is not defined, than the name of the unit will be shown. This applies also to attributes and entities.
Thanks,

Thank you, you are right and solved my problem! I was not aware that the language also affects the units!

Shortcuts never apply while you type in a text field. Members can turn them off in their preferences.
