Hello,

in my survey I would like to allow my participants to register themselves many times, because they may submit new data sets by the time and we want the previous ones to be mantained.
I see the default behaviour is that one cannot self register more than one time with the same email address ("The email address you have entered is already registered and the survey has been completed.").
Is there a way round this, maybe by using an attribute field?
Thank you.

Dear Denis,
I see you have done a great job.
Unfortunately I am not able to add a plugin to this LimeSurvey installation. I guess that if you had to develop a plugin to do that, it cannot be done with the a standard installation, am I right?
It is weird that the email address is regarded as a primary key only for self registering surveys, indeed.. When compiling a participant table, you can add many rows with the same address in LS 3LTS

In most use cases where you wish a self registration you want to AVOID one person registering more than once. Makes total sense to me.

Your case is very specific and out of the "norm" I guess.

Plugins should be installable with any self hosted Limesurvey installation, if the administrator allows it. What is your problem with installing the plugin?

Dear Holch,
you are right, the use case is a bit uncommon. The only reason why I cannot install a plugin right now is that our LimeSurveyCE installation is a "Production environment" managed by a different staff than mine. So, just a matter of timeliness
 

You know the people regsitring ?

Tell them to use +
user+1@example.org
user+2@example.org
user+3@example.org
user+4@example.org

…

Ok, understood.

I have never used this feature, but as a work around, would it be possible to increase the "uses left" manually so they can come back and add another answer? Just an idea, not sure if this is possible and feasible, but you can test.

Hello Denis,

Email serveur dependant : it work for all my email server, it work for gmail,

You could test with your professional email maybe ?

I still don't know the number of the people who would answer the survey. As far as I know, that could be 0 or >1000.
Anyway, this looks the best I can do, thank you a lot.

Oh,
You don't know who answers ?

Why not :
1. Disable token answer persistence ?
2. Allow infinite answers ?

User can use link any time they want and can save some answers.

Without plugin it's the only way i see.

Oh, I didn't know this!
My server does not take away the "+1", though... And I don't manage it alas.
