| Summary | 20511: No export button when exporting all with more than a 100 lss or lsa files | ||||
| Description | A few updates ago I noticed a small (yet in somewhat significant for my work) bug. After showing all surveys that I have on the main page - I admit I have more than 100 and therefore need to see the webiste code in the browser, manually input my number of surveys, then confirm with enter and select that. So after clicking all surveys, going to the bottom left of the page and trying to export all lsa or lss files, the box with survey names and ids seems to be larger than overall box with export and therefore covers the "export" button. On the second try the list of surveys does not generate at all. On third try (works only in firefox) it finally works and the button is visible. The button appears to be working well when less than a 100 surveys is selected, but it bothers me that on different tries iwith more than 100 surveys it works differenty. The issue has persisted for over 2 weeks and appears to work the same each time (works at 3rd try). I am aware this is a nonstandard solution and it is typically meant to download no more than a 100 survey archvies at a time, but for work I regularly need to download more than that for archivisation and safety purposes. | ||||

Let's separate the two topics here. First of all, you attempt to use a use-case that does not exist via a hack and you need that to work. Second, a possible feature request to support the selection of more surveys. The latter is a bigger topic, because if we are to support any number of surveys being chosen, then we will need to implement a fix for the layout issue that you experience and detect further issues, so if we are to implement this, we'll need to consider an array of issues, go through development for the issue that you have as well as others. Therefore I divide this response into two.
document.querySelector("#massive-actions-modal-survey-grid-export-7 .btn-ok").click() in your console that will move things further. Then you can run document.querySelector("#massive-actions-modal-survey-grid-export-7 .ri-download-fill").click() to download the export. You can glue them together into a single script, like: document.querySelector("#massive-actions-modal-survey-grid-export-7 .btn-ok").click();
Thanks for the patience and I hope the hack fix will work in the meantime. |

Thank you for the answer! I agree the best and most robust solution is either custom or larger page sizes, that would save us the hassle of having to edit the code to download whole archive on a weekly basis and avoid possible similar issues in the future. Would you like me to make a separate feature request or is my confirmation enough to start the process? |

Changed this to "feature" since this is a feature request, not a bug. You are trying to hack the system. |

Sure thing! Thank you for your willingness to work on it and I hope to see that feature in one of the updates! |
