Have a look at the participant table, tokens and custom attributes.

You can create custom attributes, upload the list as CSV and display these custom attributes via expression manager in the survey.

Have a look at micro tayloring in the manual regarding the expression manager.

What do you mean with "prefilled answer", proposed answer?

Do you mean e.g. number of children. You have the number of children in the database, so you want to put this as the default answer? This is also possible, but depends a little bit on the question type you are using.

Okay. I tried it and it works.
BUT: I want that users can reopen their survey and change the informations filled in before.
Now, if I use a {TOKEN:FIRSTNAME} as suggested answer, I would get always the info from the database.
Is it possible to check wether the user answered this question before? if so there should appear the user input text - not the database text.
you know what I mean?

You will need to use ExpressionManager (which is a Script language, soon called ExpressionScript).
But depending on the questions, where you want to assign default values, it might be a bit tricky.
If the question has a default answer value, you might check via is_empty on the fieldcontent.
Can you provide a simple survey as an example (lss export)?

For last name etc (text question), directly use {TOKEN:LASTNAME} in default value.

Hi !
I tried everything - no result :-/

My formula:

{if(is_empty(kontaktinfos.SQ001),"",{TOKEN:ATTRIBUTE_8})}

Because it must be
{if(is_empty(kontaktinfos.SQ001),TOKEN:ATTRIBUTE_8,kontaktinfos.SQ001)}
in an equation question type

But : use www.limesurvey.org/manual/Default_answers for short text

I am actually not quite sure what you are trying to do here. Could you explain again what exactly should be happening?

Because the code you wrote checks if the field is empty.

If the field is empty it should write "Leer" (Empty) and if there is already something in there it would write "Gefüllt" (filled). So in the later case it would actually overwrite what is in the field and write "Gefüllt" over it.

Attach your current survey to check for errors. Might be a issue with LimeSurvey, might be a little mistype. Which version of LimeSurvey is used?

I have addidition fields in the database (Additional user infos).

If have some questions and I want that a user could re-open his survey (edit fields after submitting survey).

If a user opens the survey first time I want to provide a "predicted"/prefilled answer (from the database).
Then the user can usethis predicted/prefilled answer or could insert another answer. After that he submitts the survey again.
If he re-opens his survey he should get his old values as answers (not stored from the database).
I hope I could explain it correctly. Or better: read the first 3-4 posts of this topic to understand what I mean ;)
