I’m trying to make a survey with time limit but I don’t get it to work.

I want to have a single page with five question and 10 minutes to complete them.

When I preview one question everything is working fine, and also when a preview a question group with one question.

But if I activate or preview the survey the timer is gone, even if I only have one question.
And if I preview with more than one question in a group the timer is gone as well.

I’m guessing that I just don’t use it in the correct way…

What I’m I doing wrong?

What LimeSurvey version are you using? Can you attach an export file (.lss) of a sample survey?

(Tried to post the .iss file and got an error, ignore this post or delete it )

I'm using Version 2.50+ Build 160620 installed today so maybe I just missed something.

The .iss is/was for a single question with timer but no timer is showing.

The survey needs to be in "Question by question" or "Group by group" mode for the timer to work.

Thank you!

Hey everybody,

I have another problem concerning the time limit - I hope somebody here can give me the answer to that.
I want to have a time limit for the whole survey - in the relevant part of the survey I display group by group and every group has just one question. I have set a time limit for the first question of this part of the survey and I want the time left after this question to be entered in the time limit field of the second question. The expression manager works in the timer field, for example I tried to put in {A1} in the timer field and the timer is automatically set to the answer from Question A1. I would just need to find out the right code for the value of the time left in question 1.
I tried lots of code lines like {timer_question_QID} but nothings works.
Is this just not possible maybe?

Many thanks in advance for your help!!
