Summary07474: Data consistency is different to filtering questions
Description

In my experience there are many cases where you need to make a check of the compiled data, as inserted on a single field as between fields.
For single fields it's possible to define mandatory and validation checks. For checks on differents fields it's necessary to develop JavaScript ad-hoc functions.

For example:
Question1 (multiple numeric): Number of employees by sex
Question2 (multiple numeric): Number of employees by class of age
Question3 (multiple numeric): Number of employees by qualification
Check: totals of 1, 2 and 3 must be the same

Additional Information

A possible solution: Definining check conditions at group level
Introducing the object "group check" as a set of individual conditions to be checked when you click on the Next button, so 'as to the mandatory answers.
A "group check" should be of two types: blocking and warning. For the warning check should be given the choice to go to the next group or to edit the field.
For each group could set up multiple "group check" to run in sequence.
Each "group check" should be composed of individual conditions combined together with AND and OR.
The condition should be set to questions/answers or on the token fileds (so 'as to current conditions)

TagsNo tags attached.

Alternative solution: Use question-level validation option
You can accomplish this using question-level validation on the last question, as documented here http://docs.limesurvey.org/Advanced+question+settings#em_validation_q . Samples using this features are available here: http://docs.limesurvey.org/Expression+Manager+Sample+Surveys#Validation_Equations

This avoids the need for custom JavaScript, or the need to develop a GUI for this feature.

Dear lfanfoni ,

Thank you for suggesting a feature.

However, we will not be picking this up because the use case is too specific or the use case might not fit to the latest versions of LimeSurvey.

Other reasons why the feature is dropped could also be, it has been implemented already.

Please check on the latest versions and if the issue still exists, feel free to re-open the report.

kind regards,
galads
