Update: saving works for Questions, so the problem seems to be specific to subquestions

Coudn't reprodice it so far. Can you please attach an LSS?

First screenshot, having entered the French translations of subquestions, just before saving; second screenshot, after saving, with subquestions back to a potpourri of different languages.

The problem is

• when saving through quick translation? Saves wrong language?
  Or
• when loading on the quick translation? loads from wrong languages?

Hiya @gabrieljenik – the first, but not a wrong language: nothing get's saved when saving subquestions through the quick translation tool.

Please, do you have a sample survey (LSS) so we can reproduce with the exact question type?

Please, can you detail the exact steps and buttons pressed? maybe a recording?
These are very basic questions, but just to double check:

• Are you pressing save after entering the translations?
• Maybe you are switching to another language before pressing save?

Thanks!

Did a recording [https://bugs.limesurvey.org/view_user_page.php?id=25282]@gabrieljenik – parked it here: https://cecilia.youthpolicylabs.org/s/pFmH3zm7A237X55

Let me know if you still need a LSS file to reproduce.

Thanks, yes, please send the LSS

Also, does it happen with a fresh new survey or only to that one?

Happens with any survey unfortunately. Attached a sample LSS.

Does it happen with smaller surveys?

Apologies, only getting to this now @gabrieljenik. Nope, does in fact not happen with smaller surveys.

Please then review the php.ini settings
post_max_size
max_input_vars

@DenisChenu maybe we could do something like a PHP checker on the POST that checks the max_input_vars and raises a warning/flash message?

You would think that this should do:

max_file_uploads 200
max_input_nesting_level 1280
max_input_time 600
max_input_vars 20000
memory_limit 94208M
output_buffering 8196
post_max_size 10240M

But I'll try :)

We have some for Questions for example. But Quick translations must be really rewritten in my opinion.

A checker? I was thinking like a general purpose checker.

Currently : there are a hidden input append at end manually.

You can not really create easily an automatic system since we don't use CHtml::endForm(); : https://www.yiiframework.com/doc/api/1.1/CHtml#endForm-detail

We could have a precheck routine on PHP that count's the input fields, and compare to the settings.
If close to the limit, it would raise a wanring / mail.

Also, we could have something on JS that counts fields per form.
If close to the limit, it would raise a wanring.

Oh ! :+1:

Same for JS : send a warning before send : can be great !
