Hello everyone,

I'm using the "soft force" option in a few questions. But when I try to finish the survey, it jumps back to the first question with unanswered options and soft force active. How do I disable this feature?

I want to either send the survvey or have a popup that gives the user the option to send the survey or jump to the first question with unanswered options.

How do I do this?

I've investigated this issue further.

I'm pretty sure this is not working as intended and is actually a bug. If one of the Veterans could confirm it, I'd be rather thankful.

This problem only occurs if you set questionindex to complete:
 

When this setting is picked instead of submitting the survey on the last page, the survey jumps to the last (matrix - I only tested with those) question with unanswered options. It is impossible to finish/submit the survey before all questions are completely answered.

Example survey: 

Is this a bug? And is there some way to workaround this by editing something in the survey template? We want to go release the survey this week and it'd be rather helpful if we can actually use the "soft force"/"weicher zwang" options.
 

Hi,

It's really seems to be a bug.  Soft mandatory are surely not tested with Full index.

Globally Soft mandatory can be replaced by

• An option in multiple choice
• A checkbox question after text question with «I don't want to answer to this question»

Hi,

thanks for the confirmation. I've created a bug report here: bugs.limesurvey.org/view.php?id=19534

As a workaround I've renamed the "submit" button to "check".

But I'm still looking into creating a fake submit button.

 Yeah, I don't think that'll be fixed until next week, so I need something to make sure we can launch the survey anyway. My current solution is to create a fake ending page, rename the "continue" button on the last page into "Submit" via js and remove all unwanted elements on the fake last page via js and the twig template.

Basically the stuff I've also described here: forums.limesurvey.org/forum/design-issue...a-fake-submit-button

Right now I'm just looking into a way to "close" the survey for a participant that has reached my fake ending page and to send a confirmation mail once they've hit it.
