Slider in middle, have to move to answer? was created by r0bis
Hello,
In the older limesurvey versions I remember the multiple numerical input slider layout gave me an option that the slider handle could start in the middle point of the scale and the respondent had to move the handle to record an answer.
In the new version when I set the slider position to the middle, it also gives me the default answer. That is if I set slider to start in the middle (and min=0, max=100 and I do not set Slider Initial Value), the respondent does not have to move the handle at all and the submission will be recorded as 50. I am not sure if this is the intended behaviour as the help tips seem to suggest otherwise.
What I really want is that the handle is displayed in the middle and user being unable to submit without moving the handle. How could I achieve this?

I don't know for the last 2.X version, but this is a bug fixed in develop version.

Maybe, since develop isn't ready for production, it should be fixed in 2.5x

see:
github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/blob/ma...lper.php#L3037-L3042
So this should be the current behavior.
Please, update to the latest version, make sure you didn't set any default value (session value, expression, default answer, init value), and if you still observe the bug, please, submit a bug report with an lss file.
github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/blob/ma...lper.php#L3037-L3042
// 5. If no value at all, or if middle start, the "user no action" is recorded as null in the database
So this should be the current behavior.

Thanks, this is good to know. I will now be installing limesurvey on production machine; the one I reported on was on bitnami stack virtualbox VM - I had not updated it yet. Now it looks to me if I take the latest build limesurvey2.57.1+161205.tar.gz I should probably be fine.

No, as far as I can see the bug is not resolved yet in 2.5x.

Hi - I have one more concern . I set set slider initial position as middle in advanced settings. The pointer should be at 3.5 instead of 4. Moreover 3.5 should be the middle of the slider.

The slider value (in the tooltip) can only be one of the increments if your scale. It cannot be 3.5 if you have accuracy 1.
In the case of your screenshot, the 3.5 is rounded up to 4.
To get an accurate center start you need to use a scale with a center point like 1-8.
