Hi,

I have to upload a long list of answer options (more than 400) where the codes are not continuous.

Is it possible to do it using quick add? Example as below:

26 Belle Vue
27 Camp Creoles
28 La Valette
44 Barachois
45 Flic en Flac
46 Morc. Anna
47 Palmyre
67 Cite Tamarin
68 La Mivoie
69 Magenta
70 Tamarin
71 Yemen
72 Camp Benoit


Thanks for your help,
Salini

Wouldn't it be easier to try it? You didn't mention the LimeSurvey version you use. The amount of data you paste might hit a limit in the server configuration.

That the codes are "not continuous" is no problem.

Hi Jelo,

Thank you for replying to my issue.

I'm using Version 2.72.3+171020.

Do you know how to use the Quick Add to upload my labels along the my codes instead of Limesurvey attributing a continuous codes?

Thanks,
Salini

You need to use a separator. If you have more than one language you need additional columns.

Take a look at this old thread to get an impression.

Attaching an Excelfile here won't help either.
You will need to test different separators. I no longer have such an old LimeSurvey version running. LS3 and LS4 is under development.


Try pasting with ";"
26;Belle Vue
27;Camp Creoles

or with a TAB separator.

If you have found a working separator prepare a list via a spreadsheet tool (e.g. Excel).

Hi Jelo,

Thanks a lot. It's working. We need to add semicolon at the end also.

26;Belle Vue;
27;Camp Creoles;

Cheers,
Salini

Actually, copy and paste directly from Excel usually works without a problem.

Personaly , i totally hate the new SubQuestion/answers adding : bugs.limesurvey.org/view.php?id=15097
It's really complex to clearly manage answer‘s and subquestions list …
