What code saves the survey data to the results table? was created by LarryMartell
We have a survey that has some custom table or array questions. That is managed by our custom JS code. That code creates them but I do not think it has anything to do with saving the data to the results table. We changed one field in this from a selectbox to a text box, and now that field is not getting saved to the results. Is there something somewhere that needs to be changed at the lime level to tell it that it's a text field and not a select box?

You show a dropdown as a textbox ?
A dropdown is a single choice with a code, if this code didn't exist in the current answer list : it's not accepted .

You must use short text for text question

That is not what I said. I said I had field that was a dropdown and it was working. I changed it to a text box and now it's not getting saved.

And? What do you expect us to say?

That is managed by our custom JS code. ....
We changed one field in this from a selectbox to a text box, and now that field is not getting saved to the results.


Without showing how you changed, it's a bit like "The car doesn't start. Why?"

So, please provide the survey (the relevant questions) as *.lss export.

Yes exactly what i say : «You show a dropdown as a textbox ?» in javascript.

When you disable js : it's a dropdown ?
If yes : «if this code didn't exist in the current answer list : it's not accepted .»

No it is a text field. I have another data point on this - some fields are set by my JS code - they all appear on the survey page. But when the survey is saved only the fields that are set by the JS code that are dropdowns are saved in the results table. The text fields that are set by the JS code do not make it into the results table. But if the text fields are set by the user then they do make it into the results table. That is why I was interested it looking at the code that actually populates the results table.

As Joffm says - how can we possibly debug that without knowing what you did with JavaScript?

The fields I fill in from my JS code I make disabled so the user cannot change them. That seems to be the issue. If I do not make them disabled they do get saved.

Set a readonly attribute instead.

Code:
$('input.myClass').prop('readonly', true);
