Hi,

Sorry if this is the wrong sub-forum, I didn't find a "general question" or "possible bug" sub-forum, please let me know which one you think fits better...

I started using limesurvey recently, running the pro suscription for the moment (version 3.17.0).

My problem is that when I export in tab-separated format, for all the mandatory questions in the survey the "mandatory" field comes out blank in the txt file, the "other" field however is "N".
When I import this same txt without doing anything to it, the new survey has all these questions as not mandatory and it adds a "no answer" to all the list(radio) questions.

Is this a known bug? A feature?
Anyone knows how to fix it without having to manually add the mandatory field manually yourself every time?


Thanks,

Best is to reporty the issue,

Exporting lss + txt of the same survey (one or 2 questions),

report it at www.limesurvey.org/community/bug-tracker

Ans since you use Limesurvey hosting : www.limesurvey.org/customer-support/contact-us

Thanks a lot, I did both!
The lss version seems to work fine though.
