What do you mean by "title"? In your attachment, I only see sub-question codes Sq01, SQ02...and no sub-question text.

If you need this survey launched, I would install version 3.25.7 - community.limesurvey.org/downloads/

Unfortunately, you cannot import version 4 surveys into version 3.

That is one of the issues when I change the all the title text and click save I get the error from my above post, refresh the page and it turns all the titles back to "Sq01, SQ02..." and shrinks my subquestions back to 51 questions.

"If you need this survey launched, I would install version 3.25.7": Not a problem I can just use ansible to deploy a new server with the downgraded version... Honestly I have setup, rolled back, and hand typed this thing out almost a dozen times. Whats one more time haha >.<

I will try to go back to 3.25.7 and go through the ringer again.

I feel like this is getting way harder than it should be. Am I missing something obvious? I scanned the docs again and can't see where I went wrong.

It shouldn't and it usually isn't. I have a feeling that it has to do with your specific server setup.

Success! I had to deploy the survey on Version 4.4.0-RC3+210112 *huge sigh*
Last hurdle is to get public statistics showing correctly but should be managable, even thogh I have my chart set to pie and it just shows a small box with a single number no realy information... hmmm
If anyone is intersted in this deploy I have it up for a brief test at vote.maltynational.com/index.php?r=survey/index&sid=276645
Thankd for all the hep and valuable insight everyone has provided to me.
