lenghten the question code was created by Thomassie
Hello,

We have an extensive preparation on paper for our survey. Each question has it's unique code but sometimes this code exceeds the 5-symbol limit that I encounter when implementing our survey in the limesurvey tool.

Is there a way to lenghten the 5 character limit in the question code box ?


greetings

What version are you using? It seems to me that in 2.05 and newer, you can use up to 20 characters in the question code.

Sorry, I asked the wrong question.

The 5character limit is in the code box for the answers when choosing dropdownmenu.


I use version 2.05

Unfortunately, you cannot change that. It is due to the database design.

What about LS 3.0 and those restrictions? Any reason to stick to a five char limit?
