Summary | 20214: Create new survey skips initial settings | ||||
Description | When I try to create a new survey in my development vanilla LS 6.15.5 survey creation is missing usual customisation form and directly creates an "Untitled survey". Then you got redirected back to survey list (dashboard/view) I was expecting to insert classic new survey startup parameters. (also my staging server, refuse to create a new survey and displays a toast error: "Survey cannot be created") | ||||
Steps To Reproduce | Steps to reproduce
Expected resultas superadministrator I want to fillup surveys parameter (for example title) before survey is actually created. Actual resultCreate New Survey button redirects into dashboard/view controller, survey got created with title "Untitled survey". Also happens by activating "+" plus button. | ||||

Yes @tibor.pacalat thanks for your comment, but I feel it's a mayor issue, should be shipped completely when it's done. Sorry, this is half work, undocumented and a waste of time. Maybe for an imminent 6.16.0 but cannot be released as a patch. Excuse me, I feel a little disappointed. I released in staging. |

I am sorry you feel this way @tassoman. On the other hand, I am not sure how I feel about your comment. Last that I checked, we are an open source software and you are using Limesurvey for free. We are constantly building new features and working on improving our software, which sometimes leads to rash decisions. This feature works as intended, and we listen to our users complaining about changing the existing work flows and lack of communication about upcoming changes. But we are improving constantly and learning along the way, as we all should. |

Thanks for caring. As you probably know, our government organisation embraced LS and contribute as much is possible. For example, nowadays I'm filing WCAG accessibility assessment we paid for giving out an effective service. We paid our assessment and we're giving back info for free, to the community. We even contributed in the past fixing some small issues. My previous disappointment was not a personal threat, not to the company, not to the community. It's because the value of a good long running project risks to get misunderstand by oversights. This 7y old thread [1] lets we understand the project is using Semantic Versioning procedure [2]. Because the topic was reviewed by a community moderator, I guess it's real. Project is releasing small fixing patches. The matter is the latest minor looks like unstable for production, should be claimed in the downloads page and second last minor version should be claimed useful in production environments. A full refactoring of administration routing and survey creation procedure, surely is not a small fix. I feel it's a complete work on a minor feature.
