TOPIC: Is there a way to autopopulate or auto-fill a survey?

Is there a way to autopopulate or auto-fill a survey? 7 months 13 hours ago #87024

I'm looking for a way to autopopulate a survey so that I can obtain some test data, check data flows logic, etc... In the end, I'm working on some reporting features based on the data. Consequently, the data itself isn't vitally important; rather, having a good-sized pile of data (bogus is fine) to work with is important.

What I'd like to do is create X number of survey records (for the sake of simplicity, let's assume 1,000 completed surveys). The data doesn't have to make sense logically - rather, I simply need the data to be acceptable / in the right range (for example, an 11pt ranking question should have values from 0-10; text questions should have text (lorum ipsum is fine...).

I know the big commercial survey tools have this feature & functionality. I'm hoping that someone has created a tool for LS or can point me to an open-source & free tool that does this kinda thing.

My other option is rolling up the sleeves for some esoteric sql coding but I'm trying to avoid that.

Thanks!

Hello,

You can : Add an answer, export VV files, fill a "lot of line" with LibreOfficeCalc, maybe with some change with alea.
