Hi. I have a question of type "array" with a QID of Q1. My ANSWER OPTIONS are A1/Yes and A2/No. My SubQuestions are SQ001/Cat and SQ002/Dog. The QUESTION for the entire item (when you click EDIT and place a value in the QUESTION field) is Do you like cats and dogs? I am trying to display the question value using this type of syntax {Q1.question} but am getting red highlighting reading that it is not seeing this as a valid variable. I have tried several other options for the syntax but can't seem to get it to connect. My goal is to create a summary page where we display the question and the values that were selected for each sub question. So it would display like this: Do you like cats and dogs: Dogs - No, Cat's - Yes.
This page (
www.limesurvey.org/manual/ExpressionScri...e_using_placeholders
) touches on the topic, but it doesn't seem to reference this basic type of array question type OR the connection using {QID.question} is not connecting for some unknown reason. The 50 other short text questions we have are connecting fine. This array is the only challenge.
Q1.question does not exist in Limesurvey for this question type (Afaik).
Unfortunately you can't display the question text with this for Matrix-Questions (or any question with subquestion, as far as I know - not sure if this has changed in LS 5).
You can display the subquestion text with questioncode_subquestioncode.question
I think there is a feature request somewhere for displaying the question text also for questions with subquestions, but not sure if there has been done something for LS5
Help us to help you!
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).

Only need to activate core plugin :https://www.limesurvey.org/manual/ExpressionQuestionForAll
I n fact since .question is needed for specific usage and take a lot memory in SESSION : i think we must move whole in plugin (like .help).
