Expired Surveys - Stop this survey still present was created by mhladun
Please help us help you and fill where relevant:

==================
Hi there, I was wondering if it is expected behavior to have the survey buttons say "Stop this survey" after a survey has already been expired. I thought in the past it would say "Activate survey".

Volunteers are not paid.
Not because they are worthless, but because they are priceless

In my opinion - yes it is.
An expired survey you can set to "not expired" by changing the date in the settings.
So it is necessary that the table of responses still exists.
So the "expired" state is only to prevent further responses.
(e.g. if you pay for them)
If you "stop a survey" this table is deleted.
So this should only be done manually, not automatically on expiry date.

Same as Joffm.
Active and expired are not mutually exclusive.
This are two different states, just like the motor of your car can be running, but you are not moving.
You can expire a survey without deactivating it. The expiry date just means that up to this date people can respond the active survey. After that the survey is still active and you need to "stop" it to deactivate.
