I've added Survey Participants.
Each owns a unique token.
I added the number of usesleft for each user to answer the survey 3 times.
If user_1 answers the survey more than 3 times during the test, the usesleft value gets a negative value (like -1, -2 etc.).
When this value is zero, I want user_1 not to see the survey because of the usesleft value.
Does such a feature exist?
How can I make the settings?
If the usesleft count goes down to 0, respondents should not be able to answer anymore. What are your settings for allowing multiple participations? This might be the issue. If you allow multiple participations, then they can participate as often as they want, no matter what the uses left count is, as far as I understand it.
I answer at the LimeSurvey forum in my spare time, I'm not a LimeSurvey GmbH employee.
No support via private message.
If user_1 answers the survey more than 3 times during the test, the usesleft value gets a negative value (like -1, -2 etc.).
When this value is zero, I want user_1 not to see the survey because of the usesleft value.
That looks like a bug. usesleft should be 0 or higher. A negative value is a clear sign for a bug.
I recommend to open a bugreport. It might have been fixed in the newest release.
The setting "A participant can answer a survey more than once" is active.
The usesleft value is 3 at first.
The usesleft value decreases by 1 each time the participant survey is completed, but when it reaches 0 (zero), it causes the participant to display the survey again and complete it.
As a result, usesleft is -1 (minus one).
I don't know how to bugreport. Is there an article on this topic?
If you report this issue for version 5.4.15+221212 you will be asked to check with the newest version again.
So you might check if this issue is already fixed in newer versions.
