Conditions designer - previous questions list wrong was created by cubes
Please help us help you and fill where relevant:
Your LimeSurvey version:5.3.6+220321
Own server or LimeSurvey hosting: own server
Survey theme/template: bootswatch
==================
Hi.
I've exported a survey from v3 and imported it into a v5 server. I've modified the question codes and some text so I want to modify the condtions.
In the conditions designer the previous questions appear in a strange order, not representing the order of the questions in the structure. When previewing the survey the questions and groups appear in the correct order.
Is there a way for me to fix this without redoing the survey?

Ok. I've just read the conditons designer isn't really a thing now and use the an expression instead.
This begs the question, why leave in something that no longer works properly?

Hi,
1. Regarding the issue there seem to be three bug reports
[url] bugs.limesurvey.org/view.php?id=17968 [/url]
[url] bugs.limesurvey.org/view.php?id=17988 [/url]
[url] bugs.limesurvey.org/view.php?id=18025 [/url]
2. Why is the condition builder still there?
Read this comparison in the manual
[url] manual.limesurvey.org/ExpressionScript_-...ons_and_Relevance.3F [/url]

It should work proberly, but it won't receive any additional features and development anymore. And it is there because some people are really, really, really scared of anything that looks like a formula or programming, even if just the remotest. There are people that wouldn't want to touch and learn formulas in Excel, even if it would make their life so much easier and save a lot of time.
For these people, the condition designer is there and makes sense.
Now for anyone who wants to do stuff that is a little bit more advanced than just basic conditions, we highly recommend to ignore the Condition Designer and learn the basics of Expression Script /Manager. Even if you might be able to do the stuff in the condition designer, if you have a basic idea of Expression Script you will be so much quicker in applying conditions to questions, that you will never want to touch the condition designer again. Thats why.
