Hello, I was trying to play with category separators in drop down lists but I could not find this in the advanced settings of the question type as described in the manual; is this parameter still available (or moved ...) ?

Many thanks for your advice.

Which version/build of LimeSurvey is used?

You are talking about this option, right?

Yes these are the options I am trying to use. My version is the 2.54.5+161019 so fairly recent. Best regards.

What do you see in the advanced options? Screenshot, please. This screenshot above is from the demo here on limesurvey.org.

Hello, the advanced section is completely empty, see attached screenshot as requested. Which is why I logged my question in the install section. My browser is Firefox 49.0.2 if that is of any relevance.

Thanks again for your support.

Click on the text "Advanced settings". The text is a link which will then show the advanced settings.

You clicked on the > before the text. That makes it wide. Just click on the actual text "Advanced Settings".

Strange. Could be a bug introduced in 2.54.5+161019. Haven't seen any bug reports so far.
Could be an issue with your installation (e.g. browser or XAMPP missing some files).
I would install the newest version of LS released today. And check it with a different browser (ensure that you don't have any plugins at work (e.g. adblocker).

Yes strange. I am running Limesurvey on a second laptop where I observe the same behaviour; even if the OS is different (Win10 vs. 8.1); only common point is Firefox really. I'll check and get back to you. Thanks again.

I can not reproduce this on my installation of LS Version 2.54.5+161019

Here what I see in the advanced question options for the question type "list (dropdown)":
