I have a survey with just one question - multiple short text with 10 options to fill in.
Data is only saved ofcourse when you click next or finish.
But I also want to save the options when somebody didn't clicked on next or finish.

Not sure if this would be the correct approach but I was thinking the following:
Create another hidden question before the real multiple short question and save the answers there as well.

Or can I do something with Relevance equation?

I'm on vacation, working from phone, so can't offer any substantial code but I think you would need to put a listener on the keyup/change/paste events of the inputs that makes an AJAX call to a remote PHP script to update the database directly.

Or maybe the RPC update_response() method - api.limesurvey.org/classes/remotecontrol...thod_update_response

Have a nice vacation Tony!!!

Thanks for pushing me in the right direction.
For now I have made a small workaround to save the data with php write to a file (when somethings changes in the input).

Just sharing -

If you need to do the same as what I have tried you can do the following:
When the input changes from the open text it will also change the answer option from another question.



In my case I also need to do this for incomplete data but that is not working.
The example code above is just more if you want to autopunch another question.
