Just FYI, when implemented it will be added to LS 3.x, not 2.73.

I propose a solution where it will be possible to configure which default answer will be recorded for the non-chosen answer options.

Also, for the future, don't attach an exported question but the whole survey. It's not possible to import a question unless the primary language of the survey is correct.

@Doberdan I just saw that there's some logic in the export code that skips non-selected answers in exclusive question. Would it be enough for you that you can choose to export empty values for these subquestions, or do you also need the value 'N' to be exported? That is, an empty value is not enough.

And Daniel, did you try this one (see pic)?

fixed in LS 4 https://github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/commit/30a85bb9791d4650653276618a50e3fb1424f911

There is 2 issue here

1. Logic : it muts be NULL value no reason to change this, or this must be defaumlt to null (if adding a settings)
2. 'N' never exist for checkbox : only 3 options : 'Y', '' or null

My opinion : this really need to be reverted/reviewed
https://github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/pull/1413

It's the case in 2.05 and surely before.

If need a solution : need a cleaner solution with an option "Set excluded option to " Null/empty

I confirm the issue with actual solution :

If an answer was filtered but have exclude : answer are set to N : it must be NULL

See the included survey

Okay i have tested it as well and yes you can revert it however it should be fixed properly.

In the attached file you can see that the second line in the marked area is empty when nothing is selected. However when you select the exclusive option, in this case SQ03, all other fields should be empty as well and not null.

The should are a point of view :).
In my opinion : must have a completely new attribute (exclude_set_empty) or an attribute using current exclude.

The worst part are using 'N'

And here : you manage it for M and Q, but not for ABCEFPK : https://manual.limesurvey.org/Question_type_-_Array#Exclusive_option_.28exclusive_option.29 for array for example.

And about «bas option since year»

exclude_all_others_auto : this one can set Y to all other (relevant) question … i think it's the best option.

To have a clean way to set : we need a clean way to set value in Expression Manager.

My objective : is to have it in an external plugin … less code in core : more easy to update and fix.

OK,

Another issue with current fix : ordered dependant …

@ollehar, shouldn't we move this one to "bugs"? Currently it is listed as "feature".

Thanks, Marcell, moved it.

It's a feature in my opinion …

exclusive set empty value since 1.81 and before …
