(Write here your question/remark)
Hello!
I can't change or delete the default answer for a Date/Time Question type. The survey is active.
I enter a new default answer (2022-10-31), it is saved, but it is not displayed in the survey. The previous default answer is displayed instead (2022-09-30).
If I delete the default answer and save it, the previous default answer is displayed (2022-09-30).
I looked at the database (tables lime_defaultvalues, lime_defaultvalue_l10ns). The last table contains thousands of entries with the previous default answer (2022-09-30).
You are using a version of Limesurvey that I would never consider "stable" and is now over a year old. You should consider to update to the latest LS 5.
I can't guarantee that this might solve your problem, but it doesn't make sense to try to solve potential bugs in old software, in my opinion.
It is possible, that you can't change the default answer once the survey is active. Copy your survey and test it when not active and see what happens.

Provide your LS version and where it is installed (own server, uni/employer, SaaS hosting, etc.).
Always provide a LSS file (not LSQ or LSG).
Note: I answer at this forum in my spare time, I'm not a LimeSurvey GmbH employee.
I changed the default answer for this question in the active survey many times before and nothing unpredictable happened.
The survey is running. Can't stop it, unfortunately. That is why I also can't risk updating to the latest version.
Also it is not very clear to me if it is safe to install two parallel instances (and two databases) on the same domain in different directories. It seems to me that the topics on the forum say that it's OK. But the Manual says that you need to
update the session configuration
. So which one is it then?
