Metadata for surveys? was created by sshaffer

We are using version 3.22.7 of Lime Survey. Is there a way to get/set metadata for a survey? We would be looking to do this via the remote API as well, not just via UI. I don't currently see a way to do that in UI or API.

Thank you.

Hi, we would like to associate surveys with either a string field or integer field so that we can group them by division. We are already using groups for another way to categorize surveys so we can't use groups. Unless it were possible to apply more than one group to a given survey. As far as I can tell that is not possible right now.

Agree with Dennis. The best is to have a plugin with 2 events:
- One for saving survey settings
- The other for querying that over remote control.
