Summary08161: quexf-pdf export: field lengths
Description

When exporting a survey using the quexml-export, the maximum_chars attribute is not taken into acount in text array (fixed to 10 characters) and number array question types.

Furthermore, in short text questions, when no maximum_char value is set, field length defaults to 240 characters, effectively cluttering up the form.

TagsNo tags attached.

Hi Adam,

issued a pull request on this one. It does not affect the quexml library, just the export helper...so there should be no upstream changed to be made.

Thanks

Dear Mirko,

I had a look at this request and I think making a decision in the export to choose a "longtext" field instead of a "text" field based on the maximum characters being > 50 isn't right. I think the user effectively chooses this by using a "short free text" or "long free text" question type in Limesurvey. If they choose "short free text" they should only get the equivalent "text" output in queXML - choosing "long free text" should give them the equivalent "longtext" output in queXML. Otherwise it is not clear to them what the will get in the paper output based on the Limesurvey questionnaire.

Are you happy to leave that modification out but leave the other change in?

Regards,
Adam Zammit
