Summary20478: Question index inherited value can not be overrided
Description

My default value for question index is "Full" (presentation tab) and even when I deactivate it in one survey, the question index is still showing up.

Steps To Reproduce
  • in global survey presentation, chose "Full" for display question index, allow jumping
  • create a survey (or pick an existing one) with 2+ groups of questions
  • override question index parameter by deactivating it
  • preview or launch the survey
  • go to group 2 or +
  • the question index is still there

the problem is the empty check will succeed for survey settings that are integers and set to zero. (this is a valid value for questionindex and navigationdelay, which means disabled) the result is that these attributes will always inherit if set to zero, rather than using that value.

there are a lot of things here to consider the various database behaviors the various types of survey settings and their various values/special cases

please let me know if you think I overlooked some case (very possible)
