If I bring up a survey the token is in the URL. If I then submit the survey, but have not answered all the mandatory questions the survey is properly rejected. But when the page is redrawn the token is not in the URL. Is that a bug or is it expected? I need the token in some custom JS code I have.

The URL is not carrying any parameter during the survey. It's a cookie session.

You already have that thread here.

Yes, that thread was about getting the token, which I am doing - I get it from the URL. But now when it's not in the URL I cannot get it.

Which only works on the first screen.

In that thread you wrote:

Ah, the token is in the URL and I can get that in the JS.

And Tpartner answered:

That will probably only work on the first screen or if using AJAX mode (which I advise against).

You still can open a bug report.

It's the needed behaviour …

To get the token in a script in custom_header.twig for template or in question text (or anything else).

Then you can use it in any script …

That was the first thing I had tried. It is not defined. Placeholders are not available in the custom.js file

I agree with Denis. I don't think it's a bug but is expected behaviour.

As long as the survey is not anonymous, the {TOKEN} placeholder will be available in scripts in question text, group description text or in some theme twig files.

Can you read again my comment ?

in custom_header.twig for template or in question text (or anything else).

Where would I find the custom_header.twig file?

Please refer to the manual - www.limesurvey.org/manual/New_Template_System_in_LS3.x
