Summary20342: Allow editing of response once survey is completed
Description

Having submitted a survey response, a user received updated information and wishes to update their response.

It appears that this is not (directly) possible. Instead, the user needs to email the team running the survey and describe the desired changes.

There are (at least) three problems with this:

  1. It creates additional work for both the person requesting the change and the people organising the survey.
  2. It also doesn't scale well, as it places additional load on the team running the survey that is (roughly) proportional to the number of people submitting responses.
  3. It is error prone because the submitter must describe the desired changes (assuming they remember the structure of the survey) and the team running the survey then need to translate the written instructions into actual changes to that persons response. Any of these steps could introduce errors in the response.
TagsNo tags attached.

It can be done using token.

There are no reason to allow it in core.

You can do it with https://gitlab.com/SondagesPro/coreAndTools/reloadAnyResponse

Thanks for the feedback.

If I've understood correctly, the reloadAnyResponse is a plugin that may be deployed in a LimeSurvey instance.

Is there an easy way to discover whether this plugin has been deployed from the dashboard?

If you don't do it or ask it : it's not here.

PS !: i have to detail the process of Create save form
PS2: i think you can create save information with GUI in 3.X , not possible currently ?

To be clear, I'm referring to a deployment of the open-source LimeSurvey software as a common resource to be used by a specific community. This service is running LimeSurvey Community Edition Version 6.15.11+250909.

Within that deployment, I didn't see any way in which I could invite someone to continue editing an existing response.

I could believe this might be possible using a token, but I don't even find a way to create/request a token to authorise changes to an existing response.

It don't exist currently, I offer an alternative solution using plugin. But you need to setup this plugin yourself extensions.sondages.pro/about/article/install-and-activate-a-plugin-for-limesurvey

I check : seems an integrated solution exist in 2.X version but disappear somewhere.

When edit response via admin GUI : you can create a username/password at same time.
It can be good to have it again.
