Hi,
We just upgraded Lime to Version 3.15.8+190130.

Our surveys have very complex branching and to help simplify, we use a lot of relevance equations based off of "helper" equations. This worked great in our previous version (2.6 something) but is inconsistent now that we have upgraded. The relevance equations seem to work when the equation is text, but not when it is numeric.

There appear no errors in how the questions are specified.

This is from the logic file and is for the equation question:

rsdjew
[QID 67745]
Equation [*] 1 if(relrsd.NAOK == 1 or relrsdoth_jew.NAOK == "Y" or rsdjewaside.NAOK == 1 or rsdjewaside.NAOK == 2, '1', '0')

The equation works fine and we can see the values changing as we enter the data.

This next question should only show if the value for the equation above equals 1:

denomrsd
[QID 67746]
List (radio) [L] rsdjew.NAOK == "1" Were you raised...
Question attribute Value
other_replace_text Other. Please specify:
other Y

However, this does not seem to work. The question does not appear, regardless of the value. When we remove the relevance equation, it shows up.

To reiterate, this worked fine in a previous version. What are we doing wrong? Please help.

Thank you.

Hi,
A sample (*.lss) of this your issue with only these five questions involved would have been helpful.

I tried to reproduce, but failed.
Even that you say "if it is numeric", but use strings and mix single quotes and double quotes.
Works as expected. (Version 3.16.0+190225 )

Here is the section with the questions. I really appreciate your help.

Hi,
sorry, as before I do not see any issue (Version 3.16.0+190225)

If question [denomrsd2] must not be displayed it is not displayed


and if it has to be displayed it is displayed


But a test in version 3.15.5+181115 showed the issue. Till now I didn't find the reason.

So, an update will help.

BTW: Do not send question groups (*.lsg), always surveys (*.lss)
1. we have to create a survey before where we import the group.
2. groups are language dependent (If I created a survey in English, the group is Spanish, it will not be imported)

OK. Thank you for testing this and letting me know that this is an issue with the Lime version and not that I am crazy.

Maybe
bugs.limesurvey.org/view.php?id=14337
or
bugs.limesurvey.org/view.php?id=14198

Since this are new issue with 3.X version (fixed in 2.73 and lesser).

Please : report issue too.

Hi,

I just found:
If the question "denomrsd2" is in a different group, it works in 3.15.5

I guess this is why I am getting inconsistent results with this. The cases in which this works in my survey is when the equation is in another section. This is really frustrating.
