How should RPC call update_response work? In my test I always get "Error: Invalid Column names supplied:", and

$aBasicDestinationFields = $oSurveyDynamic->tableSchema->columnNames;

at the line 2967 on remotecontrol_handle.php seems to put nothing on $aBasicDestinationFields-variable.

I am using Version 5.0.4+210614.

Can you provide a code snippet?

The column names must be the SGQ values (111111X22X33 or 111111X22X33_SQ001), not the question/sub-question codes.

Aaarghs. How is this not documented? Why I got a headache when I look at the RPC docs?

How to get SGQ from question code?

manual.limesurvey.org/SGQA_identifier

Ah, true. I meant how to get the SQGA from the API.

My code is something like "read answers from survey X, and by that information add participants to surveys A, B and C". Would be nice if I could just say to normal user "when making X, use question code 'abcd' and my code will use it to...".

I am confused how you would use update_response for that workflow.

Better would be delete_response, but there is no such function. (see bugs.limesurvey.org/view.php?id=17413 )

So I would like to change response, for example add "DONEALREADY" to the start of some answer.

I still don't see how that relates to retrieving data from one survey and then adding participants to other surveys.

Would be logical to have a way for marking already retrieved data. Now I must check if there already is same participant so that the code does not add it again.
