Hi,
depends what you want to edit.
You read this when you activated the survey
Once a survey is activated you can no longer:
- Add or delete groups
- Add or delete questions
- Add or delete subquestions or change their codes
What you can do, is everything that doesn't affect the structure of the database., e.g.
change the wording of questions, subquestions,
change relevance equations
Otherwiese you have to deactivate the survey, before you change it.
And here you read this
The responses table has been renamed to: lime_old_survey_123456_20210206142354
You should note the name(s) of the table(s) in case you need to access this information later.Note:
If you deactivated this survey in error, it is possible to restore this data easily if you do not make any changes to the survey structure.
See the LimeSurvey documentation for further details
So at your own risk you may try to "Import responses from a deactivated survey" when activating your survey again.
This will usually work if you consider this:
WarningYou can import all old responses that are compatible with your current survey. Compatibility is determined by comparing column types and names, the ID field is always ignored.
Using type coercion may break your data; use with care or not at all if possible.
Currently we detect and handle the following changes:
- Question is moved to another group (result is imported correctly).
- Question is removed from target (result is ignored).
- Question is added to target (result is set to database default value).
