Modify Popup Message for not answered mandatory question was created by cmnxyz
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!

Not because they are worthless, but because they are priceless

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.

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
So again I ask:
Which question type?
Which mobile device?
Which OS?
Best you send an example survey where you face the issue (*.lss)
