Hi,

I am having trouble importing the "validfrom" and "validuntil" data from my CSV to Lime Survey. It seems I absolutely need this information to be able to send out my invitations (without this info no invitations are being sent...).

Does anyone have a functioning CSV file (to import tokens from CSV) that has successfully uploaded the "validfrom" and "validuntil" data to Lime Survey? My CSV only imports the name, email, and uses left info...

I need this to work as the survey will be sent to a large number of people for which I can't manually type in the dates from the View Toekns table...

Thank you for your help,

best,

V

Limesurvey doesn't need this information, but from what I understand you need it? Is it different for each respondent?

You can create one example token and then export it. Use this csv file as a base. This way you should be able to include it right. You need to make sure that the title and the format is correct.

  • Provide your LS version and where it is installed (own server, uni/employer, SaaS hosting, etc.).
  • Always provide a LSS file (not LSQ or LSG).

Made a quick test and it works fine. But you need to make sure to use the date format of validuntil and validfrom exactly as it has to be.

Here how it worked for me:
