Hi guys,

Is it possible to have a default value defined for survey participant custom attributes.

Here's why :

I must present a set of questions or another depending on a yes/no custom attribute. Easy to deal with when I mass load from a csv. Nevertheless what about a self registering participant ? Value is NULL and he will be presented with none of the question sets.

Am I wrong ?

Hi,

Well I think I found a very dirty workaround.

Attributes values are defined in lime_tokens_XXXXXX table. I could define a defult valu for the field once initiated. Fine but not elegant at all

From this I have a suggestion of improvement :
Custom attributes are defined in the attributedescriptions field in the lime_surveys table.
For a specific survey it present as such :

{"attribute_1":{"description":"Blah","mandatory":"N","show_register":"N","cpdbmap":""},"attribute_2":{"description":"Blah","mandatory":"N","show_register":"N","cpdbmap":""}}

Wouldn't it be possible to add a default_value in that dictionary ?
