Summary	09525: EM logic file : error can be hard to find
Description	EM logic file is great to find if we have any error in Expression. Showing the number of error at top. But with big survey : it can be hard to find the error : only show with different color.
Additional Information	Have a way to go quickly to the error can be the greatest think (show list of error with Question numer/group number at top with anchor to the error or to the question). But the quickest way can be adding [ERROR] at the first cell : then use search on the browser go quicly to the error. I think [ERROR] must be not translatable.
Tags	No tags attached.

Mazi 2021-02-03 18:56 updater ~61904	We are often facing this exact same problem with lengthy surveys. If there are many questions or lengthy lists at the logic file, the questions with errors are hard to find. Maybe we can have a kind of index on top which is a list of links taking you to the buggy questions? Some JS for checking which questions are marked as having issues could already do the trick and generate the link list automatically. @tpartner, what do you think?

DenisChenu 2021-02-03 22:16 developer ~61923	Currently : there are string added (and warning for = and some other) Using Browser search are really quick See https://github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/commit/f9a62f8d23ff73e183ce9e90bd1422db69e585ce

Mazi 2021-02-04 08:07 updater ~61924	Ahh, that should already help a lot. Do we have default text for any error on question level or only warnings for e.g. the comparison issues?
