Summary16142: Deleting a participant after he/she started the survey keeps the survey available
Description

GIVEN: A survey participant is created in a closed-access survey
WHEN: The participant has started the survey using his token
AND: Afterwards the participant is deleted via the survey participants administration table (NOT CPDB)
THEN: The participant can still continue the survey
AND: Using the same URL incl. the token, the survey can be entered via another browser and computer (so I assume it's no client-side caching problem)

Additional Information

However, on submitting the survey, there's an error message

500: Internal Server Error
Call to undefined method stdClass::save()

An internal error occurred while the Web server was processing your request.

Please contact Administrator to report this problem.

Note: When I use the "Exit and clear survey" button and then try to restart it, I'm seeing the screen where I have to enter my token. This is what I'd expect also directly after deleting the survey.

I've had this in all my surveys and also in different installations (same version, though). Is this a known problem and is there any way around it?

@ollehar, do you know anything about this?

Hey @NielsFro, is there any reason why you delete the tokens before the participants finish filling out the survey? Not sure if someone really though thoroughly to this scenario.

Hi @cdorin, we use Limesurvey as part of a larger tool where users can "Cancel" participations that were previously created. Canceling from our tool triggers the delete in Limesurvey. I already thought of workarounds for our specific problem as I figured it wasn't a "standard" use of LS. Hope this explains it :)
