Hi everyone,
I'm designing a study in which participants have to rate some words on some dimensions on some kind of semantic differential scale.
I designed it the following way :
The anchors are in the "answers".
The words to rate are in the "subquestion" category. (see attachment)
BUT there is one enormous problem : some of the subquestions just randomly disappear and I have absolutely no idea why.
I don't think i'm to blame for it, knowing that I simply paste the words to rate from an excell file to the subquestion menu.

Does anyone has had the same problem than I do? 
Do you know how can I fix this problem?

Thanks in advance,

RaphAdam

 

There is only one way to find out: Provide us with an LSS-Export of this question (LSS, not LSQ or LSG) so we can have a look at it.

Also, always mention your Limesurvey Version you are experience this problem with.

Randomly disappearing sounds strange.

There is one of the questions with subquestion disappearing (i.e. subquestion 14)
I'm using Version 3.23.6+200929

There is only one way to find out: Provide us with an LSS-Export of this question (LSS, not LSQ or LSG) so we can have a look at it.

You sent an LSQ file, I have specifically asked NOT to send LSQ files...

LSQ files, like LSG files require extra work from the forum helpers. You need to create a survey (and a question group in case of LSQ). And they are language sensitive, this means one needs to create the survey with the correct base language (same as the LSQ/LSG file) or you can't import it.

And: There might be settings in the survey that cause the problems, so they general settings are also important to see. So how can you help us to help you: Copy the survey in Limesurvey, delete everything that is not relevant for the case, export this survey as LSS (!!!!!) and upload it here.

By the way, your version Version 3.23.6+200929 is over 1 year old and hasn't received any updates, bug fixes and security fixes for over 12 months...

 

My bad... But my version of LS doesn't allow me to choose between different exports mode..
 

There is no LS version that I know of, that would not allow to export your survey as LSS...

You are probably looking in the wrong place. It is not on question level, but on survey level.

See my additional explanation above (I edited my question with further information).

Ok I managed to do so.One example of the problem encountered is in Set2 --> Set2P1 - subquestion 14.I imported the subquestion 14 (among the 60 others subquestion by pasting them) and this one disappeared. I've heard from a coworker that it's not the only example but we tried different modifications to fix this. This is the only example that we know for sure to be here.Thanks again for all 

In Set2 > Set2P1 there is no subquestion with the code "14", so I assume you are talking about "89014" (éduquer)?

Are you sure? I did a couple of tests and "éduquer" always showed. Are you sure that the subquestion isn't there? There are so many, you can easily overlook it.

What???
How can this be?
In the original study, this exact word does not show...

By the way, you start this question with the subquestion 89011 instead of 89001 and then you skip item 11 later.

Due to this error, you only have 59 subquestions, despite your last subquestion code suggesting that there should be 60 (89060).

I assume you are aware of this?

Once again that's super strange. in my questionnaire it doesn't appear this way.
Honnestly i'm getting a little crazy with this plateform
