Hi,

for my survey I want the participant to be able to come back and edit they previous answer.

When they think they are done with the survey they are supposed to be able to start a new response.

Right now I am using the participant settings "Enable token-based response persistence" and "Allow multiple responses or update responses with one token".

This makes it possible that the participant can come back and edit their last response. My problem now is that the participant cannot start a new response.

Is it possible that the participant can start a new response when they press on a button "finsh and start new"?

I am using Version 3.27.19+210928

Thanks for the help in advance

If you want to allow both editing existing response sets and starting new responses, how would LimeSurvey know which existing response to edit?

There is no way for the respondent to create a new response. The settings are forcing the respondent into the finshed survey response set.
In your setting it's always the update of an response. ("Allow multiple responses or update responses with one token" ).

There might be a plugin for helping out. Haven't tested myself, so I can be wrong.

Allow participant with token to create or reload responses

gitlab.com/SondagesPro/coreAndTools/reloadAnyResponse/

Perhaps the developer of the plugin will see this thread and comment.

The participant is only allowed to view and edit their last response.
When they press the button "finish the survey" and open the survey again they are supposed to start a new response.
Idea would be to have a hidden field which is set to 1 when the participant presses the button "finish the survey".
I just don't know how to force limesurvey to start a new response.

Thank you! I will check it out and see if it works the way I want it.

Hi,

press the button "finish the survey"

This is the "Subnit"-button?

With 
"Enable token-based response persistence" = ON
"Allow multiple responses or update responses with one token" = OFF
"Participant may save and resume later:" = ON

the participant can close the browser anywhere and a new click on the link leads to the active survey where the participant left it..

After submitting this survey and clicking the link again there will be a new survey opened, IF you set "usesleft" to an appropriate value in the participants table.
But not both at the same time.

With
"Allow multiple responses or update responses with one token" = ON
the participant always gets back to his last response from the beginning of the survey, even if you add "newtest=Y"

Thank you!! That is exactly what I needed.

Is it possible to add the function "resume later" to a button?

If you have a "token based" survey you'd better remove this link.
In such a survey the participants just closes the browser and after a click on the link he will be at the same page of the survey where he left.

This "Resume later" is used in opne surveys, where the participant has to enter some credentials like a username and a password in order to be recognized by the system when he reenters the survey.

I don't think we mean the same thing.
At the top of the survey there is a "resume later" button when you activate the option "Participant may save and resume later".
I want to add a button at the bottom of the survey with the same functionality.

Edit: my survey is token based.

Joffm is talking about exactly this. "Save and resume later" makes no sense for token based surveys, in my opinion. As Joffm says, do not use this feature if you are running a token based survey with "token based response persistance", because by a simple click on the original link the respondents get back to where they left off in the survey, just as they would with "save and resume later". My recommendation: do NOT mix those two.

I think I explained myself wrong. I just meant "Resume later" and not "Save and resume later"
Currently I have the following options set:
"Enable token-based response persistence" = ON
"Allow multiple responses or update responses with one token" = OFF
"Participant may save and resume later:" = ON

This does exactly what I needed because the participant does not have to fill in a username and password. The participant has the option to save his progress and resume the survey later with the same token. For that he needs to press the "Resume later" in the top bar. I set the amount of uses left to more than 1 so the participant can submit multiple responses.

I wanted to place another button with the same functionaility at the bottom of every page so the participant has either the option to press "Resume Later" at the top bar or at the bottom of the survey.

Sorry for all the confusion.

Where does this "resume later" button come from and how is it different to the "save and resume later" button? I am not aware of two different "buttons" in Limesurvey.

I am confused.
