Skip Logic and Mandatory Questions was created by palsurvey2020
Survey ID: 489574
Limesurvey version: Version 3.23.3+200909

Hello, I am having two issues:

1) Skip logic in the limesurvey. Essentially, I am trying to set up a consent form page, where clicking "no" takes you to the end of the survey (thank you page). However, when designing this skip logic, if "0" represents "no", the survey should skip to the end of the survey. However, it doesn't do so. What can I do to fix this?

2) When I want to make a question mandatory to answer, I notice that in selecting the "mandatory option", Limesurvey adds another answer option to my question. I would like to make a question mandatory but without this additional answer. How do I go about doing this?

Thanks,

Hi,

However, when designing this skip logic, if "0" represents "no", the survey should skip to the end of the survey.

How did you design this?
Usuallly you use a quota with limit "0" tpo screenout these respondents.

I notice that in selecting the "mandatory option", Limesurvey adds another answer option to my question

I never saw this before.
Please explain better, or show us.

As usual, always the best is to send a lss export of your survey that we see what you tried.

I will attach the .lss for better understanding

sorry, I meant if I turn off "mandatory option", Limesurvey will add "no answer" to the answer options in the question. I would like to turn off mandatory option on all questions, but not have "no answer" as an answer option (I already have a "don't know" answer option and would prefer respondents to click that if they want to not answer).

As usual, always the best is to send a lss export of your survey that we see what you tried.

I think you are talking about the "no answer" setting for non-mandatory questions.

manual.limesurvey.org/Surveys_-_introduc...ation_.26_navigation

This is a general setting in your limesurvey installation and you can switch this off accordingly in the GUI.

I never really understood this option, but it has a certain merit. If you click a single answer option, but at the end decide that you do not want to answer any of the options, there is no way to "un check" it for questions with radio buttons. You can always just check another radio button. But once one is checked, you MUST give an answer.

With the option of "no answer" you can uncheck other answer by checking "no answer". That is why this option exists.
