I don't think this is a bug - it's probably just something I'm not seeing.

I have a non anonymous survey with a first question that has default answers from the participant table. There are 7 new attributes and the default answers are set to {TOKEN:attribute_x} where x is 1->7. It doesn't work - I've seen it work before so.. ???

(On debian, firefox, V4.4.3, php 7.2, mysql; no errors reported)

Please have a look at the pics attached and enlighten me. - thanks!

You should use {TOKEN:ATTRIBUTE_1} (all capitalized)

Thanks for the quick response - however, I tried that. The first one shows in the error msg in lower case (!) (do I need to clear the mysql cache?) and the other answers are blank. See attached.

I made a version of the survey with only this question in it. I will try to attach a copy here so anyone can try it and tell what I did wrong. (I assume this includes the 7 additional attributes)

I made a cleaner version of the one question survey (.lss, attached. ) This one somewhat works...

1 - all default answers are of the form "{TOKEN:ATTRIBUTE_X)", x = 1-->7

2 - some of them work if the survey is accessed from an email with a url/token but none work on question preview.

3 - see photos:

3.1 result:

(note that
shows the correct values in the participant table. (If you look at "manage attributes there they show up as lower case "attribute_x", x= 1-->7; as they should.


shows the default answer set-up



shows the result.
Note that: course Name is att_1, what shows is att_7; CourseNum is correct, Faculty is correct, but instructor is att_4 what is showing here is att_5. Section is att6 (what is showing is att3), session is att7, what is showing is att4.

This is strange.

I tested in 4.3.1.


with these default answers


and these attributes



But in a second try I got this:

Thanks - I was starting to doubt my sanity. Filed a bug report on this around 5 AM today.

I redid everything on my backup machine - same result. Tried it with lime 3.22, same again.

2 - some of them work if the survey is accessed from an email with a url/token but none work on question preview.

Am I reading this correctly? You are testing it in the question preview? There is no chance that this will work, because Limesurvey has no access to the token table, if respondents do not enter the survey via a token.

Thanks, I didn't know that.

However.. the key thing is that it messes up both with an email token and if you allow public access and the user then enters values for each attribute as part of gaining access.

Well..
The question works just as it should if I only use four attributes (b ut define all seven in the participant table) Splitting the 6 part question into two works for both.

In making a new survey with only the one question with only four default answers instead of 6 I typed each of the "{TOKEN:ATTRIBUTE_x} entries rather than typing only the first one and then using cut and paste on the others before fixing the numbers. I have not tried to use cut and paste on a four part question, but I wonder.. is this more gnome weirdness?
