Hello,

I am using Limesurvey 3.9.3 on limesurvey.com.

I have a problem with a quite complex survey where I have used "relevanceStatus" to check if a previous question has appeared or not. The relevance equation for Q3 looks like this : (Q2_SQ001.relevanceStatus == 0 and Q2_SQ002.relevanceStatus == 0)



The question Q3 appears and can be answered, but is not saved in the answer database. It is not even saved when going forward to the next group and backward. Question Q4 is correctly saved.
I have the feeling that, at one point, the relevanceStatus internally changes and disables some questions, discarding their answers. But I can't explain.

Is there something that could be done ?


Thanks a lot


Note : I know I could have copied/pasted the relevance equations but there are cascading questions each one with complex relevances that would lead to exploding size of equations...

Try with (checked in 3.19.3)

relevanceStatus are already a true/false system.

And compare number with boolean can be hard.

For example : we need allow 0 to be entered in a numerci value. 0 !== empty for LimeSurvey …

Are other questions not being saved as well? If the survey is complex (large), check the max_input_vars setting.

Hello,

Thanks a lot DenisChenu for your answer. Indeed, relevanceStatus == 0 gave me the false impression to work.
If I change to : (!Q2_SQ001.relevanceStatus and !Q2_SQ002.relevanceStatus), the answers are correctly saved.

It also works correctly on my way more complex survey.

Also, thanks gabrieljenik for your answer ; all answers not related to the "relevanceStatus" were correctly saved, so it was not linked to the max_input_vars setting.

I was wondering if it would be interesting to change the text in the page :
www.limesurvey.org/manual/Expression_Manager
".relevanceStatus - whether or not the question is currently relevant (1 if true, 0 if false)" to be changed by :
".relevanceStatus - whether or not the question is currently relevant (boolean)"
It is a wiki, so I suppose I could change it, but I am a bit new to the community so I ask for permission

Good idea .

I do it …

Please : can you create a bug report with your issue . We already have issue with condition different in JS and PHP (it's the original issue here)
