Summary19576: array question: combination of maximum answers setting and soft mandatory not working correctly
Description

for example: question has 5 subquestions, maximum answers is set to 2,
you answer below the max answers, but validation for mandatory hits although question is technically answered fine.

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce

import attached survey
take survey and

  1. answer below or exactly 2 subquestions
  2. answer more than 2 subquestions
  3. answer all subquestions

    Expected result

    if question is (soft) mandatory it should be ok to answer 2 or less subquestions

Actual result

mandatory check insists on fully answering the question (all 5 subquestions) although you are only allowed up to 2 subquestions

If maximum answers are set to 2 : question CAN NOT be mandatory (soft or not).

Like ranking.

What is the desired behaviour ?

but validation for mandatory hits although question is technically answered fine

No : mandatory on array are choice on each line.
It's NOT : select one answer.
You have min answer for this.

as min-max settings replace mandatory, options to set mandatory and soft mandatory should be disabled in this case to prevent confusion for the user.

You really want to construct something complex where logic is OK ?

Confirmed. On an array question, mandatory means every row must be answered. That can't work when "Maximum answers" is lower than the number of rows. With mandatory the question can't be submitted at all, and with soft mandatory the warning always shows.

Suggested fix: in that case only, mandatory will need at least one answered row, the same as ranking questions since 20622.
Surveys where the maximum isn't lower than the number of rows would keep working as they do now.
