Hi, Tony,

first of all thanks for the quick answer. In my survey there will be 8 conditions, but I forgot to say that for now I was testing with 2. Sorry about that.

So you're saying it is possible to add the assigned info (random == 1, random == 2, and so on) to the relevance field for group instead of doing that for each question inside the group.

I just did what you said for the 2 groups I'm testing with and no question groups are displayed when I preview the survey.

What do you think I'm doing wrong?

Hi again,

I tried ((random == "1")) instead of ((random == 1)) and now it works!

Thanks a lot!

It's an issue , because it work like you say in 2.6lts and 2.73.

I think you must report it.

Yes, the result of rand() should be recognized as a number.

Cheers,

In fact : not exactly :).

Because you can force it as number :).

BUT Something.NAOK == 1 must work if Something.NAOK === "1" and Something.NAOK === 1


See this old discussion here : bugs.limesurvey.org/view.php?id=8324 (at this time : i think we must compare it as string if === "1")
And old issue here : bugs.limesurvey.org/view.php?id=7805

And new issue here : bugs.limesurvey.org/view.php?id=14337

There are a major issue in Expression for all numeric value in 3.X

Yes exactly!

"rand — Generate a random integer" - php.net/manual/en/function.rand.php

yes, but i think it must not depend on the way it was saved too :)

@FeCanever : can you test with manual.limesurvey.org/Question_type_-_Eq...y_.28numbers_only.29 to ON ?

And can you report the issue with a simple survey (2 group only)

Hi,
I tested with manual.limesurvey.org/Question_type_-_Eq...y_.28numbers_only.29 to ON and it now works if I use ((random == 1)) and ((random == 2)), without the quotes. Awsome!

Sorry about my silly question, but what do you mean when you ask If I can report it? Do you mean here to you guys and to support?

Support forum : the place to ask free help by LimeSurvey user.
Bug report : www.limesurvey.org/community/bug-tracker the place to report bug.

It's not because i'm on Forum and on Mantis than you don't have to report issue

A bug not reported on mantis is a bug not fixed

Denis,

When I was getting ready to report the bug in the support forum, I turned off the "numbers_only" option, and somehow it now works even if I let ((random ==1)) without the quotes. Should I go ahead and report it anyway?

In my opinion : since we have issue (fixed) with previous release, it's a bug in this new release.
