Summary08987: Unable to hide constraint information on mandatory numerical input
Description

We have a few situations where the limits on an integer input are pretty obvious or common-sense - for example, age. With the "hide tip" on, users should not be confronted with the "scary programmer text" unless they have actually submitted bad data to the server.

Unfortunately, the "hide tip" option does not seem to actually hide this information.

Steps To Reproduce
  1. Create survey.

  2. Create a Numerical Input question.

  3. Set the following options:

    • Mandatory
    • Hide tip
    • At least one of the following constraints: Integer only, Minimum value, Maximum value
  4. Test the survey

When you load the page with the numerical input, it will be immediately highlighted and have all the constraints listed, as if you had submitted an empty box.

Additional Information

This is intimidating to our users.

You can fix that in your template by using

span.hide-tip div.error {
display: none;
}

Patching this in LimeSurvey general is not an option as it would affect all users which are currently expecting a different behaviour
