After some consideration I think this is not a bug but a missing feature as detailed by mfaber. |

Carsten, at this report I am not complaining about the weird syntax to be used to reference the texts (that is reported at issue 08858) but about the auto-added texts. |
|
|
The texts are there for a reason. If removed other people will complain that they were removed as they mark a certain column/row combination |
|
|
Well, that argument always counts but I can see no reasons for auto-adding these texts when using placeholders as described above: For Array Dual Scale one has to use: -> At the first example the result reads "Research[Manager]" though the text being displayed is independent from the column ("Manager"). -> At the second example it adds the scale number: "VW Passat[Scale 1]" and again this makes no sense since the text is the same for both scales. From my point of view this is a wrong results of placeholder usage and hopefully someone can at least have a look at the code details to determine whether this can be fixed more or less easily. |

What you are looking for is questioncode_subquestioncode.question which is currently not available for EM. |
