Issues with Exclusive answers on Multi's and data export was created by davebostockgmail
Not sure if this should be in this section but could not think of anywhere else it fits. Maybe there should be a "Data Export" sub forum ...anyway here is the problem ...
When you have a multiple choice question with an exclusive option the data is not exported correctly from LS... this issue means you get incorrect counts from the answers
How is this incorrect ... if you have say 1-4 options and option 4 is exclusive on a multiple choice question and you select options 1 and 3 then the data is correctly shown as 1 0 1 0 (Y N Y N) however if you select option 4 it is shown as Blank Blank Blank 1 (N/A N/A N/A Y)
This is an issue if the questions is filtered because it is returning the incorrect base of the subquestion by having a blank in the data and not an indicator that the questions was shown but not answered.
I am using V3.17.7 and there is a very small LSS file attached that once populated shows this error in the data.
Is there a way to change the N/A when an exclusive is set to a not answered as in normal multiple choice questions?
Thanks in advance
Dave

You should open a bug report. There is motivation to align the storage behaviour of answers (not shown, not answered etc.) along the developers.
