    Interesting if I add the same record to the ipad and then separately to the iphone I find a duplicate of the record on the ipad

    Hi Tim,

    Sounds like you’re syncing with your two devices.

    That makes perfect sense actually.

    Tap Forms doesn’t know that 2 records contain the same information if you create them on separate devices. All it knows is internally they have different unique record IDs. So you end up getting duplicate data, but internally each record is uniquely identified with its own record ID.

    If you want to verify this, export your records as a CSV file and choose the Export Record IDs option. Then look at the CSV file and you’ll see the duplicate data, but with different record ID values.
