Summary04057: List question - default value after previous button selected
Description

Imagine that you have a survey with multiple groups on multiple pages. On some pages you have list type questions. Now you activate the questionary and you try it out.
First you answer all questions on page 1 and then you continue with page. Now if you want to go back to page 1 to change an answer, all list questions are selected with default value. This problem occurs since at least version 1.86.

Additional Information

This issue occurs with all templates, not only with our own ones.

To reproduce the problem, see example survey attached.

1) I can't reproduce the issue on my installation (=latest stable plus relase = LimeSurvey 1.87+ build 8278).

2) Can you reproduce the issue on my installation? I added a test token for you:

Thanks for your reply.

The survey you created doesn't show any list menu question. They are all replaced by checkboxes. Normally on page one you have 4 list menu questions with the following values: "Non applicable, Excellent, Bon, Suffisant, Insuffisant, Très insuffisant, Sans réponse". There should be no checkboxes.

Very strange - I just imported your survey and activated it.

1) May you please post a link to a survey to your installation or at least a screenshot of how your survey looks live - just, that we are talking about the same thing - Thx!

2) How does your attached survey look like, if you import it to your installation?

@ smeier6: How do you realize a question type like "List Dropdown with comment box"? ==> I have never seen this question type before ==> do you have a customized installation?

This is a normal future of Limesurvey: http://docs.limesurvey.org/tiki-index.php?page=Question+types#quot_quot_List_Dropdown

We use this kind of questions at least since 1.86. We didn't do any kind of customization, except for templates.

smeier6,

I guess you have set
$lwcdropdowns = 'L';
in config.php.

Can you tell us the exact values you put there?
As a first fix I recommend to switch that to 'R' (that is the default value).
Using radio items also allows for faster answering for your participants.

Thanks for your help.

You guessed right. There is the following setting: $lwcdropdowns = 'L';

For now I changed the value to 'R' but this isn't really a solution for us. For example, if you have a drop-down list with 20 values, the equivalent with radio buttons isn't very user-friendly. But at least the survey is usable now.

I CAN reproduce the issue, if I set "$lwcdropdowns = 'L';" in config.php with the attached survey.

Btw. I get the following notice in debug mode - perhaps thats the problem:
Notice: Undefined variable: check_ans in /home/.sites/962/site989/web/limesurvey/qanda.php on line 2698

Good catch Matador, the issue was related to the notice.

Fixed in rev 8301.

Thanks for the report and goog investigation.
