Greetings everyone

We are deploying a survey, which contains several groups in group by group format.
Due to request, we need to allow navigation to any group from any group in the survey, show the status of each group, and allow users to close the survey and retake it later.
On the footer of the survey we placed a list of all the groups represented by their number with refs to each one, which works. The problem is, the status (answered/unanswered) its updated only for the questions between the first and the one the user is jumping to.
The array from which our twig element is getting the data Step info its returning the values up to the step on which the user is at, and filling the rest to the last groups with old data when the user already visited them.
This array is being updated in some method .
For example, user enters survey (array shows only first group data), then user jumps to 10th group, completely answers it, then jumps to 5th, (array shows data up to group 10 but data is updated up to group 5) and the 10th group remains showing "unanswered". The data is updated only when the user reaches or jumps to 10th group or superior.

You can see in image 2 that the array ends on index 13 when we are placed at question 14th, and the rest of the elements are not updated.

The ideal behavior would be that the data of every group is updated no matter the position of the user, has someone achieved this?

No, never,

I already have the idea on how to fix this, but never take time …

I have an old plugin about index ans step : framagit.org/SondagePro-LimeSurvey-plugin/fixMaxStep

Maybe you can get some inspiration

And myabe you can play with JumpTo in beforeSureyPage event ?

I think (unsure) you need to move to end, and move to desired step after …

Something like

- LimeExpressionManager::JumpTo($_SESSION[$this->LEMsessid], false, true, true);
- LimeExpressionManager::JumpTo(0,false,false,true);
- LimeExpressionManager::JumpTo($_SESSION[$this->LEMsessid], false, false, true);
- LimeExpressionManager::JumpTo($_SESSION[App()->getPost('move'), false, true, true);

But your issue seems near : bugs.limesurvey.org/view.php?id=13859

Maybe bug reappear (again …) ?

Thank you! That solved the problem, we added a loop to jump to all unvisited groups and bring each one separately, replacing this method :
Code:
private function getIndexItemsGroups($type)
    {
        if (!$type) {
            return array();
        }
 
        $sessionLem = Yii::app()->session["survey_{$this->iSurveyId}"];
        if (empty($sessionLem['grouplist'])) {
            return array();
        }
 
        //jumps to all unvisited groups
        $maxreached = $sessionLem['maxstep'];
        for ($x = 1; $x <= $sessionLem['totalquestions']; $x++) {
            LimeExpressionManager::JumpTo($x, false, false, false, false);
        }
        //returns to current group
        LimeExpressionManager::JumpTo($sessionLem['step'], false, false, false, false);
 
 
        /* get the step info from LEM : for already seen group : give if error/show and answered ...*/
 
        //$stepInfos = LimeExpressionManager::GetStepIndexInfo();
        $stepIndex = array();
        foreach ($sessionLem['grouplist'] as $step=>$groupInfo) {
            /* EM step start at 1, we start at 0*/
            $groupInfo['step'] = $step + 1;
            //$stepInfo = isset($stepInfos[$step]) ? $stepInfos[$step] : array('show'=>true, 'anyUnanswered'=>true, 'anyErrors'=>true);
            //gets each group individually
            $stepInfo = LimeExpressionManager::GetStepIndexInfo($groupInfo['gid']);
            if (($type > 1 || $groupInfo['step'] <= $sessionLem['maxstep'] || true)
               // &amp;&amp; LimeExpressionManager::GroupIsRelevant($groupInfo['gid']) // $stepInfo['show'] is incomplete (for irrelevant group after the 'not submitted due to error group') GroupIsRelevant control it really
            ) {
                /* string to EM : leave fix (remove script , flatten other ...) to view */
                if (LimeExpressionManager::GroupIsRelevant($groupInfo['gid'])){
                    $stepIndex[$step] = array(
                        'gid'=>$groupInfo['gid'],
                        'text'=>LimeExpressionManager::ProcessString($groupInfo['group_name']),

Thansk but hard to see the difference …

I'm unsure : but in my opinion : it can be great feature or a good fix.
