Summary07744: False confirmation of adding subquestions when running into database limit
Description

In the support forum I am having a case where survey isn't overly big, but the user wants to add one multiple response question with more than 300 companies and then filter a array (text) question with 3 answer options.

Due to the long list it seems like he is running into the limits of the database (which I find very problematic bis the survey itself is not that big), due to this constalation.

So I created a test survey and I could reproduce the problem: when you want to add the 3 horizontal subquestions (headers for the columns of the array-text question) it seems like we are running into the database limit. OK so far. But Limesurvey confirms the creation of the subquestions with "Subquestions were successfully saved.". But then no subquestion is saved. In this case there should be some error message and I think it should state the problem of the database limit, so the user at least knows.

TagsNo tags attached.

That's not a database limit - it is a PHP limit. Max_input_vars defaults to 1000

But couldn't we give a warning that the creation was not successful?

I guess we can't do anything against PHP or database limits, but at least we should not confirm a creation that was never completed.

LimeSurvey does not know that the number of variables transmitted was pruned by the server setting - so it can't tell that there is an error.

Thanks for the feedback. Is it save to increase this number?

I think I will add something to the "limits" page where we talk about the database limits. And if it is OK to increase this (or possible) then I'll add that too.

But I still think it is not good behaviour that Limesurvey confirms something that isn't true. So it doesn't really check that they were created, is just says that it went through a process and finished the process. Sucessful or not.

possible fix: one of the first fields (hidden) holds number of fields / records... then we have something to check. If submitted numer does not match we can present a warning.
