@ollehar & @cdorin : i think i can take some time on this issue? What do you think about not fixing in 3LTS ? I think update and move it only after like default_value is the best solution.

But then : it can update some survey behaviour, maybe some user use it to know someone click on a link …

Use prefiilling like 'defaultvalue' :
I understand that your idea, is setting the prefill value as default value. Then the question validation will save the value on the DB.
Is that correct?

Sorry, not too fan of that idea.
Why not setting the prefill values to the starting values at the very beggining.
Starting values are already being saved well, right?
(I mean starting values don't show the issue, right? From the code I think they do)

Yes, but right : it something to mind : only when question are shown (or step are done) …

Something to check too : prefiled value must be deleted when step of question happen and relevance is 0 ;) i think it's the case currently.

Why not setting the prefill values to the starting values at the very beggining.

Because it broke survey policy

Starting values are already being saved well, right?

on 3.22.25 : saved too soon (survey not started)

(I mean starting values don't show the issue, right? From the code I think they do)
