Summary12131: filterout_incomplete_answers does not seem to work anymore
Description

We just updated from 2.06 to 2.62.2 and figured that the config.php setting "filterout_incomplete_answers => filter" does not seem to work anymore, but it's still available in the config_defaults.php file.

Steps To Reproduce

set config.php config array to:
'config'=>array(
'filterout_incomplete_answers' => 'filter',
'debug'=>0,
'debugsql'=>0,
)

This seems to have no effect for the "Export" section (CSV) and the "show answers" Table - both are still showing up as "All answers".

Additional Information

There is a rumour about this setting, that the value should be set to 'filterout_incomplete_answers' => 'complete' instead of "filter" to get it working. I tried both values, no luck so far.

TagsNo tags attached.

searched the code and this seems to be the only place this gets used

thanks for looking up the code. I tried setting it to true or false, but that did not have any effect either.

'config'=>array(
'filterout_incomplete_answers' => true,
'debug'=>0,
'debugsql'=>0,
)

@c_schmitz / @cdorin: This commit (https://github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/commit/367a4ce4ec72d262c70d94bf0fae2017270f6f4f) breaks existing plugins!

Can we please NOT rename configuration settings? I know that the current naming may not be perfect but there are external tools or plugins reading such settings from the core config and they will not work anymore if such details are changed.
E.g. we have several custom data analysis or PDF plugins which make use of this setting and now that the parameters have changed, they are broken!

@cdorin, can we please adjust the fix at https://github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/commit/367a4ce4ec72d262c70d94bf0fae2017270f6f4f#commitcomment-38318606? The variable naming changes are breaking existing plugins. This is easy to fix and should not be put on hold until eternity just because of your sprint approach.

I don't see a problem to let your plugin handle both (old and new ) variable names. You probably have to do that anyway, because any revert would only be for LimeSurvey 3, not for LimeSurvey 4.

I think I agree with Marcel here. Renaming config options should be part of major releases only.

Probably not possible to adjust back at this point, tho?

@ollehar, I think you already have kind of guidelines for such adjustments. Either stick to it or revert earlier and not after about a year has passed.

There should also be a reasonable explanation for such minor adjustments which still break compatibility. Just having a slightly better name shouldn't be the reason to break stuff.
