I have been playing around with tokens but cannot seem to find the magic combination to allow both multiple responses and the ability to edit those responses...if I select persistence response and allow multiple and edit with one token, the respondent can return to their original survey and edit it but I cannot find a way to start a new entry...if I change the persistence setting to no, they can start a new survey but only the last survey they started will be reloaded upon a reload saved survey...even if I change the password...

Is there any way to achieve what I need to do here?

I don't think what you are trying to do is possible.

How would Limesurvey know which of the responses to choose from?

I was hoping it would give you a list to pick from or that if you used a different password when saving, it would link it to that.

No, it doesn't.

So as long as there is one non complete survey, it will go into this survey, if answer persistance is on. If answer persistance is not on, then there will be a completely new survey, but there is no access to the old, partitially answered survey.

If you want them to be able to fill several surveys at the time and go back to those that haven't been finalized, then you would have to give them more than one token.

So I tried to do that with self generation of tokens but the browser saves the previous survey, so they cannot get to the screen to generate a new token. I guess I will have to manually create them all?

Sorry, I don't follow? Where do you make this self generation of tokens?

Allow public registration - you enter name and email and it sends you a token.

Ohh, ok, I have never used that feature.

I assume that you can only have one registratio per email per survey.
