Hello guys,

I tried my survey on a mobile device. When I don't answer all of the mandatory questions the following pop up message has quite a repeating text (see attachment). How can I modify the popup message, so that the text is only displayed once ? I read it's also possible to deactivate popups, but I dont have admin rights to change the config file.
Limesurvey version is 3.14
Kind regards!

Hi,
which version exactly? Which mobile OS?
And which question type?
I could not reproduce with LS Version 3.17.4+190529 on a Huawei Y5, Android 5.1 Lollipop

A quick workaround would be:
Set the question to "not mandatory" and do your own validation with your desired error message.

Furthermore it could be a translation error. So feel free to participate in translating LimeSurvey.

The translations for German Formal and Informal both look fine. Seems like the string is being displayed twice.

I answer at the LimeSurvey forum in my spare time, I'm not a LimeSurvey GmbH employee.

The funny thing is that the text is not just repeated.
There is a slight difference in wording.

I could not reproduce and cmnxyz did not answer my questions, so, let's wait.

Hello,

I'm using the version 3.14.8+180829. Indeed, the text is not an exact repetition, but is too similiar in my taste and might be confusing for the users reading a similiar sentence twice. I saw it's possible to turn off pop ups in general under the survey settings (without bothering with the config file). Kind regards

Hi,
as I said

I could not reproduce with LS Version 3.17.4+190529 on a Huawei Y5, Android 5.1 Lollipop

I used a question of type array.

So again I ask:
Which question type?
Which mobile device?
Which OS?

Best you send an example survey where you face the issue (*.lss)
