New Question Editor in LimeSurvey 7
LimeSurvey 7 introduces a new Question Editor designed to improve how surveys and questions are created and managed.
The new editor focuses on clearer structure, improved usability, and a more consistent editing experience across question types. It updates the user interface and workflows used when creating, editing, and configuring questions, while keeping existing survey logic and data handling intact.
This page provides an overview of the new Question Editor and links to more detailed documentation where relevant.
What is the new Question Editor
The Question Editor is the interface used to create and configure questions in a survey. In LimeSurvey 7, this editor has been redesigned to make common tasks easier and to reduce complexity when working with more advanced question setups.
Key goals of the new editor include:
- clearer separation between question content and settings
- improved navigation within complex questions
- more consistent behavior across question types
- a foundation that is easier to extend in future versions
Who should review this change
You should review the new Question Editor if you:
- create or edit surveys regularly
- work with complex question structures
- maintain custom question themes
- rely on specific editor workflows in LimeSurvey
For most users, existing surveys continue to work as before. The changes mainly affect how questions are edited, not how they behave when a survey is run.
Scope and limitations
The new Question Editor focuses on the user interface and editing workflows.
It does not change:
- how responses are stored
- how survey logic is evaluated
- how conditions or expressions work
- existing response data
Structural backend changes, such as response table and fieldname updates, are documented separately.
