Using remotecontrol 2, I'd like to be able to delete the response corresponding to a token or, if that is impossible, to reset all of the questions and subquestions for a response to "No answer".

The reason for this is that I want potential users of the survey to be able to try it out and the tokens contain a lot of fields used in the survey.

I will use Drupal to send the remotecontrol commands to Limesurvey and to manage the entire process.

So, would someone need to add a function to remotecontrol to delete a given response and/or a function to iterate through all questions and subquestions so that they can be reset or does anything along these lines (or another solution) exist?

Thanks for any help on this.

There does not seem to be a method to remove responses but there is one to update responses - api.limesurvey.org/classes/remotecontrol...thod_update_response .

But if the goal is to allow respondents to "test" the survey, why not give them access to the clearall button to remove the response or give the tokens multiple uses?

Thank you.

I think providing the clear all button could be a workable solution, although not ideal (the user would see a previous tester's results, clear them, and start over). If I do this, what might I have to do to make the "clear all" button appear?

Also, since the "clear all" button exists, does that mean that the function behind it could be added fairly easily to remotecontrol?

Thanks.

I should probably clarify that each token has a number of attributes that have been set and that are important to how the survey is presented. This is why even a tester needs a token and why I want to reset the response or delete it, so that the user can create a new response.

I don't get how a respondent would see a previous response unless they have the same token or are on the same machine.

Maybe I'm going about this the wrong way, but I create tokens in Drupal as well as a number of attributes. They are then synchronized with Limesurvey.

I suppose I could basically clone these tokens for each tester, but I think it is easier to reuse them, along with their attributes. The tester sees a series of links (they are rating several other people), each of which corresponds to a token and is a link to Limesurvey with the appropriate link.

I hope that clarifies a bit.

If you want to re-use tokens, give the tokens multiple uses and append ?newtest=Y to the survey URL. I think that should start a new response.

Make sure "Enable token-based response persistence" is set to NO - www.limesurvey.org/manual/Survey_settings#Tokens

Thanks, again. ?newtest=Y could work, but I have an array that should be reset to "no answer" but, instead, gets reset to 1 (out of 5).

Is this a bug or is this by design?

Thanks.

No clue without more details about your LS version, questions settings, etc.

As far as I know, an array should not be "reset" to anything unless something else (like JavaScript) influences it.
