Hello, I'm currently experiencing a weird problem when updating a response using remotecontrol. Say for example that I add a response with add_response and the following parameters
{
 "submitdate":null,
 "123456X1234X12345": "Y"
}
then I get as response {"id":1,"result":"1","error":null}. Then I can see on the survey page that there is a response with id 1 that is marked not completed (hat the red cross on the completed column) and has the desired answer Y to the question with ID 12345. However if after that I try to use update_response to add an answer to a different question with these parameters (notice the different question ID)
{
"id" : 1,
 "submitdate":null,
 "123456X1234X99999": "Y"
}
then I get as a response {"id":1,"result":"Error: Survey does not allow edit after completion.","error":null}.
I'm not sure if this is the intended behaviour and the error message is just misleading but I think that if the response is marked as not yet completed, I should be able to update it.

Does anyone have experience with this? Do I have to use something other then update_response to add additional answers to a response?
I tried to google quite a bit but haven't found anything useful, so any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

Edit: also from what I could see on github in the file remotecontrol_handle.php under update_response, it doesn't seem like the completion field of the response is ever checked

Can you attach a sample of your complete code?

Hi, thanks for the question, but I don't think the code is the problem since I can recreate the issue with 2 Post requests on Postman, which are the following:
POST myserver.com/index.php?r=admin/remotecontrol
body:
{
"method" : "add_response",
"params" : [
"mySessionID",
123456,
{
"123456X1234X234567": "Y",
"submitdate":null
}
],
"id": 1
}
to which I get {"id":1,"result":"1","error":null}. Then

POST myserver.com/index.php?r=admin/remotecontrol
body:
{
"method" : "update_response",
"params" : [
"mySessionID",
123456,
{
"id" : 1,
"submitdate":null,
"123456X1234X765432": "N",
}
],
"id" : 1
}
to which I get {"id":1,"result":"Error: Survey does not allow edit after completion.","error":null}

Today I noticed that if I turn on "Allow multiple responses or update responses with one token:" under participant settings, then the update works and I get
{"id":1,"result":true,"error":null}

But still I'm confused as to why I get "Survey does not allow edit after completion." if the response is marked as not completed.
