Summary16563: We cannot create a new question and Limesurvey deletes some answers
Description

When we try to create a new question this error appears in Postgres Log:

  • SELECT * FROM "lime_questions" "t" WHERE sid = 616628 AND qid = '' LIMIT 1
    invalid input syntax for integer: "" at character 65

We attach an error that it appears in the console.

Afterthat we have created the new question directly into the database and It worked but... when we changed some attribute (e.g. hide tip) Limesurvey deletes some answers from database. See attached the database changes:

  • After to create the question:
  • Table lime_answers: lime_answers1.jpg
  • Table lime_answers_I10ns1: lime_answers_I10ns1.jpg
  • Table lime_question_attributes: lime_question_attributes1.jpg
  • After to modify an attribute:
  • Table lime_question_attributes: lime_question_attributes2.jpg
  • Table lime_answers: lime_answers2.jpg (two of three answers options have disapeared)
TagsNo tags attached.

Random characters sometimes could come on qid when creating new questions as those are used by vue to identify internally new rows.

Before issue 16469, QuestionEditorController tried to find the questions using 'findByPk', which automatically casts the value to int, removing characters.

Now, 'find' is used because the survey ID is added to the search criterias.
qid is not casted and no objects are found.

When saving a new question, Question object is empty, and the resulting SQL fails in Postgres because of the data type.
Solved by casting 'qid' to int.

PR: https://github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/pull/1543
Contains both fix for 16566 and 16563

Try adding answer options and sub question and modifying from the front end, seems to work as expected AND WAS SUCCESSFULLY ABLE TO ADD QUESTION

Details Diff		 Fixed issue 16566: We cannot create multiple choice questions (#1543)

Dev: Before issue 16469, QuestionEditorController tried to find the questions using 'findByPk', which automatically casts the value to int. Now, 'find' is used because the survey ID, as the search is done by multiple criterias.
Dev: When saving a new question, 'qid' is an empty string, and the resulting SQL fails in Postgres because of the data type. Solved by casting 'qid' to int.
Dev: This also helps with issue 16563.
Dev: Casting subquestion id as to remove the random characters vue id adds for its view.		 Affected Issues
