Please help us help you and fill where relevant: Your LimeSurvey version: 6.17.6 (260604) Own server or LimeSurvey hosting: own Survey theme/template:
==================
The "+" / Create survey button points to:
/index.php/surveyAdministration/createSurvey
This immediately creates an empty survey record in the database named "Untitled survey" — before the user has entered anything. If the user clicks it by accident or changes their mind, the empty survey stays in the system.
Preferably, I would like to use this url.
/index.php/surveyAdministration/newSurvey
This first opens a dialog asking for the survey title and basic settings, and only creates the database record on save.
Since we have many users (students/researchers), the system is getting cluttered with abandoned "Untitled survey" entries.
Questions:
Is there any setting (global settings, config.php, permissions) that makes the create button use newSurvey instead of createSurvey? I couldn't find one.
If not, what is the recommended way to change the button target? Admin theme override, a surveymenu_entries modification, a small plugin hooking into the menu rendering, or simply a webserver-level redirect (createSurvey → newSurvey)?
Or is this considered intended behavior / a known issue worth reporting on the bug tracker?
Any pointers appreciated. Thanks!
