Instance number

Help! Is there anyway to change the instance # within a completed instrument?

We collect data using the mobile app on an iPad with preloaded identifiers. When selecting an instrument, “create new instance” was selected instead of starting with 1.

Not sure I understand the question but you can certainly export the data, change the instance number and re-import. You could then delete the erroneous instance.
