I have a question with a timer set to automatically redirect the user to the next question and the first time when I get to that question the timer waits for the set amount of time, however it seems that there is a bug when I hit "Exit and clear survey" and when I get to the timer question again, instead of waiting for the set time it automatically redirects me to the next question. The problem seems to be with a cookie called "limesurvey_timers" which needs to be cleared in order for the timer to reset. Is there an option that I have missed? Or is there a way to simply not add that cookie?

I have the same problem. It's more evident since my survey is quite long and respondents often only take a peek at it and "clear" the survey to return later, but then that damned cookie is already there and skips a few questions. Is there a way to change the behaviour of the {CLEARALL} button so that cookie is eradicated?

Hi,

It's the attended behaviour : if the user have 3 seconds to answer, it's too easy to redo the survey to have 6 or 9 or 12 seoncds.

But you can clear the cookie in www.limesurvey.org/manual/BeforeSurveyPage event.
Test : session is set for survey ( indpiration here git.framasoft.org/SondagePro-LimeSurvey-...r/fixMaxStep.php#L40 but with srid, not token). If not set : reset the cookie.

It can be interesting for other user to put this plugin in our extension repo.

Thank you for your explanation. In my survey restarting can hurt only the participant though, since a few first questions are always the same "warm up" ones, and the others are presented randomly, and they are quite numerous.

I cleared the cookie by using another workaround, by uploading this jQuery plugin in the template directory:
plugins.jquery.com/cookie/
Then including it in the startpage.pstpl

And I cleared the cookie by inserting this code in a introductory "Text Display" question
