Hello,
I have an old survey in a LS 2.6.6 site which I want to add to my new 4.2.1 site.

There is a part which does not work anymore.

In brief, there are two questions:
the first one asks to name some products you want to rate, the second asks, for each of those, to add a rating.

In the subquestions of the second one, in the old LS site there where only the {QUESTIONCODE} expressions, of course with a filter preventing to show the line when there is nothing in the product name.

Now this doesn't work anymore.
I've tried by adding .NAOK or .shown but whatever the case I get the expression, not the value, in the subquestion.

Is there a new way to do this?

I enclose my sample survey.


Thanks a lot.

This is an issue in 4.X : please report.
It woark with array question type, but not with dual scale.

If you can (if you have a backup) : best is to upgrade to 3.X and not to 4.X : community.limesurvey.org/downloads/

Done, thank you-

As for 3.X, that's sad. We switched to 4.X because we did not want to take an LTS version...

Why did you NOT want to take a LTS (long term support)?

It is generally the most stable and best to use for production environment.

LTS Status at least until December 2020


With the current state of 4.x I would bet that the LTS status will be extended. I don't currently see 4.x being as stable in December 2020 as 3.x is right now.

I can understand that you won't want to launch 3.x in September and then end of 2020 switch to 2020. In this case, I would highly recommend to test, test, test as much as you can and report, report, report bugs as much as you can. I am sure it will be very much appreciated. Maybe this will help so that 4.x is sufficiently stable until September for production use. That leaves you about 2-2.5 months, depending on when you will deploy the environments for your users. I think it is doable, but will require a lot of help from the community.
