Summary08859: Using .question syntax auto-adds additional text
Description

When trying to display the subquestion text of a question using questioncode_subquestioncode.question this doesn't work for Array Texts/Numbers/Dual scale.

For Array Texts/Numbers one has to use:
questioncode_subquestioncode_answercode.question

For Array Dual Scale one has to use:
questioncode_subquestioncode_scaleID.question (with scaleID being 0 or 1).

When using the above syntax, Limesurvey automatically adds the answer code or scale number, examples:
Research[Manager]
VW Passat[Scale 1]

Steps To Reproduce

Import the attached survey, run it and check the array text/numbers/dual scale placeholders at the overview on page 2.

After some consideration I think this is not a bug but a missing feature as detailed by mfaber.

Carsten, at this report I am not complaining about the weird syntax to be used to reference the texts (that is reported at issue 08858) but about the auto-added texts.
Using that syntax is absolutely fine with me but the auto-added texts are annoying and make a working solution unusable.

The texts are there for a reason. If removed other people will complain that they were removed as they mark a certain column/row combination

Well, that argument always counts but I can see no reasons for auto-adding these texts when using placeholders as described above:
"For Array Texts/Numbers one has to use:
questioncode_subquestioncode_answercode.question

For Array Dual Scale one has to use:
questioncode_subquestioncode_scaleID.question (with scaleID being 0 or 1)."

-> At the first example the result reads "Research[Manager]" though the text being displayed is independent from the column ("Manager").

-> At the second example it adds the scale number: "VW Passat[Scale 1]" and again this makes no sense since the text is the same for both scales.

From my point of view this is a wrong results of placeholder usage and hopefully someone can at least have a look at the code details to determine whether this can be fixed more or less easily.

What you are looking for is

questioncode_subquestioncode.question

which is currently not available for EM.
