Yes Holch, that does appear to be the case - for the LimeSurvey data to be exported in the correct type for SPSS, I need to always use the numbering "1, 2, 3.."
Perhaps even just finding the file that sets the "pre-filled first option" for the answer options could solve the problem.
EDIT: This appears to be the issue file, located at: \application\controllers\admin\questions.php (Line 498)
Code:
// Check if there is at least one answer
for ($i = 0; $i < $scalecount; $i++)
{
$ans = new CDbCriteria;
$ans->addCondition("qid=$qid")->addCondition("scale_id=$i")->addCondition("language='$baselang'");
$qresult = Answer::model()->count($ans);
if ((int)$qresult==0)
{
$oAnswer= new Answer;
$oAnswer->qid = $qid;
$oAnswer->code = 'A1';
$oAnswer->answer = "";
$oAnswer->language = $baselang;
$oAnswer->sortorder = 0;
$oAnswer->scale_id = $i;
$oAnswer->save();
}
}
Code:
$oAnswer->code = 'A1'; => $oAnswer->code = '1';
