Hello,

I'm working on a survey response import feature from an XML file, and I intend to use the RemoteControl 2 API add_response method.
But this method does not perform any validation / survey logic checking, basically it's just a wrapper for the SurveyDynamic model.

So I need some tech advices on how to build this feature, how to leverage the Expression Manager in exactly the same way that it is when responding the survey from the GUI, to enforce data consistency.

PS : I'm totally new to LimeSurvey development (but I have good PHP skills however), I just read the LS manual (especially www.limesurvey.org/manual/Expression_Manager_for_developers ) and took a look at the code base for now.

Thanks

welcome to LimeSurvey

If you have some good PHP skills, I'd suggest you update directly the RC2 in the develop branch:
github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/blob/de...tecontrol_handle.php

I'm OK to contribute, but I have still no idea of how to code this feature.

you can have a look to the code to import a survey from backend:
github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/blob/ma...port_helper.php#L722

I think you better look at :
github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/blob/12...ntimeHelper.php#L613
Because with index 2, wez revalidate whole survey before submit.
