Summary04376: "no answer" condition remove recorded value
Description

I have questions (on different groups) (we'll call QX) depending on a "no answer" conditions from a numerical input (we'll call the question QC).
After changing pages during the survey, the recorded answer from QX are removed from the database...

Steps To Reproduce

Initial configuration :

  • Survey is activted and I use token.
  • Survey structure
    Group1 :
    • Q1A (type numerical input)
    • Q1B (condition : Q1A == "no answer")
      Group2
    • Q2A (condition : Q1A == "no answer")
      Group3
    • Q3A

I add a token and begin to fill the survey :

  • I leave Q1A empty

  • I answer Q1B

  • I click on "Next" button
    --> at this step, my answer are recorded into the database (Q1A stay at {null}, Q1B answer is filled )

  • I answer Q2A

  • I click on "Next" button

    Here is the problem --> Answer from Q2A is not recorded and answer from Q1B disappear from the database...

Additional Information

Find attached an export from the survey structure.

Pb identified.

For Numerical, MultipleNumeric and Date questions a the typical no answer code (either '' or ' ') can't be set (it's not a Double, or Date field). So we let the value to NULL in DB.

However the $_SESSION[thefieldname] si set to ' ' which causes the checkconfield() to be working well => other answers having the Equals-No-Answer conditions on Q1A are recorded to DB

When loadanswers() is then called, since the DB field is NULL, the corresponding $_SESSION[] are reseted to NULL. Since NULL isn't the same as '' or ' ', the checkconfield decides that the questions having the Equals-No-Answer conditions on Q1A should be hidden, and thus reset any answers in DB !!!!!

Solution:
*either fix loadanswers() or fix save.php so that specific code is used when evaluating No-Answer for Numeric/Date questions.
