Summary10718: Using fieldname.shown in Group's relevance equation does not work if user hasn't answered question
Description

When a Group has a relevance equation of (fieldname1.shown == "Something" || fieldname2.shown == "Something"), it does not resolve as true unless both questions have been answered by the user.

Steps To Reproduce
  1. Import the sample survey provided
  2. Test the questionnaire
  3. Choose "Trump" or Clinton"
  4. Choose a reason Why
  5. Observe that "whyresult" is skipped even though condition should be valid

The equation does not become true because fieldname1.shown is undefined if it was not answered, and so the whole equation becomes invalid.
You should also not use the shown text for the comparison but the code value of the answer option.
To prevent the invalid equationby a non-answered question you should use
'fieldname1.NAOK', so rather

fieldname1.NAOK='T1'

So this is not a bug. Your donation (or rather buy a Premium Package instead) would be still appreciated, of course ;).
