==================
Hello,

I've created a survey with 8 questions (Q00001 to Q00008), one of which is a dropdown list and its question ID is Q00001. I'm trying to create a URL argument to pass in a value/selection to preselect the dropdown using Panel Integration. The argument name is listPreSelection.

 

But, when I go to associate my URL argument with that question, only two of my question IDs are listed (see image). One other thing. When trying to add this parameter, the dialog box is labeled "Add Parameter" and not "Add URL Parameter" as illustrated in  Panel integration - LimeSurvey Manual . I know I'm missing something. But, what?

Thanks!

The manual is showing screenshots of newer versions of LimeSurvey.
LimeSurvey 3.X is no longer in active development. LimeSurvey 6.X is the current version.

The panel integration tool does not allow to assign every questiontype directly. You might need to create equations to "translate"  URL parameters into preselected answers or assigned values of a question. You might create a little survey, export it as LSS and attach it to this thread. That might help others to help you find an solution.
 

Why not rename Q00001 to listPreSelection and load it directly via GET parameters?

I just used "...?Q00001=****" and this works!

Thanks!!
