Hello.

Here is the mission:

To use a baseline survey with pre-populated questions but NOT participants, to create a duplicate of the baseline survey over and over again while doing the following:

Each new survey will have new dummy participants (the number of participants will vary survey to survey) with unique tokens and unique attribute_1 values and unique Survey ID.

Can the above be done via linux command line utilities or other methods without re-inventing the wheel (re-creating the survey from within Limesurvey).

I guess I'm asking if it's safe to import data into the duplicated-empty survey with a csv file that has all the values I need. Will doing exactly that produce a unique survey that actually works?

Thanks.

HI,

Not sure why it shouldn't work.
Seems reasonable to me.
Am I missing something?

Any specific situation you foresee as a problem?

Thanks
