I think it's the desired behaviour. IN fact : in 2.6+ : with this settings : slider is set to 'value' only in javascript (then after rendering HTML). Then seems best (from my point of view)
|
 |
"When 'Slider layout' is set, this sets the initial value of the slider (unless an answer is already recorded for this user's session). |
|
|
Your right about manual. In fact : i think we need a new settings :
Something like this. Curent way is "Position of the slider if no value" , 2.6lts way is "Set the initial value" :) |

In 3.0 : Slider initial value set at start And you're totally right : https://github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/blob/develop/application/helpers/questionHelper.php#L950 It's a 2.6X bug ... Capture du 2017-05-30 20-02-32.png (15,417 bytes) |

...or, to avoid confusion, in 3.0 we...
My thinking is that we already have Default Answers for non-slider layouts and they already nicely override initial position and set an initial value. Thoughts? |

+1 , i use a new settings (default to enable) because old survey update. But 3.0 break more thing's than i think in november. If you have some times : can you test "slider initial value" with a 2.5X ? I think it was setting the 'initial value', same than 2.6lts |
|
|
I did test it with 2.65.0 and the value is not set in the database - see my opening description. |
|
|
Yes, but i mean : with a 2.59 for example. I think there are an update because in november it seems to work :). No time for this week to fix this one for me ;) |

OK, then : the 2 bug report ask different things (if i understand) 11533 : initial value must not set initial value right ? |
|
|
in my option should be an option to set slider's start position (at least center/left(top)/right(bottom)) and keep it mandatory so respondent should do something on the page before he will be able to continue. |
|
|
IMO #2: when you need to set initial value that should be saved in the answers by default you should use "Edit default answer values" instead. Slider initial value should set affect visual position only |
 |
I agree to vkuzmin. So I think we should adjust the documentation and then close this issue? |
|
|
In 3.0 : user have choice :) (i must update the default to have same behaviour then 2.6X). And in 2.6lts : initial value is set via javascript after page is shown. Mu POV : fixed in 3.0 : close the issue ;) |

@c_schmitz : I think the issue was ore : there is a different behaviour of the same settings during API compatible system ;). Value is set If we 'fix' it : there are again a different behaviour. |
