3 way can be really interesting

• Owner : new default ?
• inherit (like current)
• Set to fixed current owner (3.X and previous system)

I do not have this issue (LS dev) - please wait till Monday when we will do another release. Thanks for your contributions!

Hi, I am facing the same problem. I think it is related to the issue 16149.
Limesurvey version 4.2.4+200520 upgraded from 2.72.2+171017 using LDAP authentication.

hey there, could you please update to latest version and see if issue persists?

see 16149 as well

Confirm: Now this works in Version 4.3.6+200727.

Many thanks, this is a good step for easier management.

What now? Again in 4.3.16+200915 this does not work.

@jmantysalo - could you please confirm if now it is fixed in 4.4.0 RC1?

Sorry, but no. Still "Administrator" with "your-email@example.net".

In LS3, we used to be able to set who was the details (name and email) for the admin of a survey.
That admin data would be used in emails, for example.

In LS4, when creating a survey, you can't fill that data anymore.
The fields are set with "inherit", and are not changable.
When those fields are "inherit" LS uses the data from the global config settings.

Actions suggested:

• Show the fields Admin Email and Admin Name.
• Prefill them, on the creation screen, with the defaults set on the global config.

That would be the easiest and most straight forward.

Action 2:

• Make the creation screen to have a dropdown with the following options:
  • Current User --> Upon creation, the admin email and name will be taken from the user and stamped.
  • Default --> Fields willbe filled with "inherit". Current behaviour.
  • Custom --> Admin Email and Name fields will be shown for being completed.

What do you think?

PS: Adding the option of owner could be tricky, as we would need to update that when the owner changes. That could be for another "feature".

For our use it would be sufficient to just have default name and email to be prefilled from the user creating the form. Or just having nothing and requiring the user to give those before invitations can be sent.

I suppose that some others would like to have some static default like surveys@ourcompany.invalid.

And some may want to restrict all mails sent from survey to be sent using from-address of the owner.

Prefill them, on the creation screen, with the defaults set on the global config.

I don't like the prefilling , stay inherit is better.

Action 2 seems better (in my opinion)

can be easi;ly done in plugin ;) (just for email)

@c_schmitz What do you think?

Btw, if the DB connection fails when saving, then LS send data to the email of the survey admin. Hence would be nice if that would be a working address by default.
