It will be a better UI if we display a custom text and a link/button for adding a new row instead of columns and empty rows when there is no rows in matrix dynamic. hideColumnsIfEmpty: boolean, false by default.

When survey has checkErrorsMode equals to "onValueChanging", then we check question value with question value stored in survey, when we have to use question value after processing question.valueToDataCallback function.

After setting survey.checkErrorsMode to 'onValueChanging', survey doesn't allow to set into survey.data incorrect data. However, question.isRequried property is totally ignored.

Right now users set min/max properties to text question and expect that end-user could not enter values that are less than min value and greater than max value. We should not allow to set this values into survey.data and show errors on "next page" and "complete survey" actions if the value is incorrect. The additional properties that can be used to show the errors are: minErrorText and maxErrorText.

By setting the following code:

Survey.settings.minDate = "1900-01-01"
Survey.settings.maxDate = "2099-12-31"

You do not allow end-users to set value into text question with inputType equals to "date" the value that less that January 1, 1900 and greater than December 31, 2099. It works in the same way if all these questions you would set the min and max properties

A question for drag and drop ranking. Allows respondents to rank items against each other by placing them in order of preference. Is appropriate for short lists (e.g. 5-7 items).

const json = {
  "questions": [

      "name": "smartphone-features",
      "title": "Please rank the following smartphone features in order of importance:",
      "isRequired": true,
      "choices": [
        "Battery life",
        "Screen size",
        "Storage space",

        "Processor power",
        "Price"
      ]

Reporting a bug.

What is the current behavior?

After I change to a non-default locale in survey settings, I cannot edit my survey anymore:

• Properties panel turns empty,
• questions disappear when I add/move them,
• survey not being saved,
• JS errors appear in Console on every operation (question select/add/move).

(Detailed below at reproducing steps.)

What is the expected behavior?

I expect to be able to edit my survey regardless of survey locale settings.

How would you reproduce the current behavior (if this is a bug)?

1. Open https://surveyjs.io/create-survey in Chrome incognito mode.
2. Add a Single Input question to the survey.
3. Click on Survey Settings.
4. Modify the locale from "Default (English)" to anything else. (I wanted to use "magyar" (Hungarian), but tried others too for this report.)
5. Click on your previously added Single Input -> Properties panel is now empty. Error 1 appears in Console.
6. Add another Single Input -> It disappears. Error 2 appears in Console.

https://github.com/surveyjs/survey-library/commit/cc67fbfe766fdb8f83c553e305e14aa5b2e26548

Right now this code will duplication question1 if it belongs to the first page: js survey.pages[1].addElement(survey.getQuestionByName("question1")); We should remove it from the previous parent container before adding to the new one.

On using "choicesByUrl" property when choices are loaded from the web service, we reset the value to "undefined" before setting the value from choices. It requires to notify UI about value change, otherwise UI elements doesn't know that they need to update their value. In early versions, we took the question value directly from survey. During performance optimizations about a year ago we started to cache the question value in the question object and synchronize question value property and survey data. It means if the previous value exists in new choices, that came from the web service, we don't need to notify survey about question value changing and reset (make undefined and then set the value back) the question value property only. It will be enough to notify UI about the change and update the UI elements accordingly.

The current version executes defaultValueExpression in a non async mode and as result if there are async functions in this expression, then the result will be incorrect.

We do not currently sort elements and it is hard to select an element if there are a lot of items in a dropdown. We should sort them by displaying text.

The origional error was reported in SurveyJS support desk

The original issue was created in SurveyJS support desk. Converting "radiogroup" question with hasOther property set to true to "imagepicker" generates JavaScript error. The reason that image picker contains a wrong item type - "other item". Imagepicker should have it at the first place.

Since changing properties in CalculatedValue object doesn't call survey.onPropertyValueChangedCallback function, creator.onMofied event doesn't call eigther. The original issue was reported into SurveyJS Support Desk.

The functionality is required for Creator V2. We use Survey as property grid to edit Survey objects.

We decided to render the step attribute as "any" by default. Let us know if you feel that is not a correct decision, we will introduce a new setting that you will allow you to get the old behavior. You can read more about html step attribute here.

We required this property editor for text question dataList property - the list of localizable strings.

What is the current behavior?

When i have the property grid disabled, when we edit a question , its opens a modal with the information of question , if we rename a question inside of this modal , dont have the same behavior (my visibleifs of all my questions are not renamed) Example question 1 question 2 visbleif : = OUI question 3 /////////////////////////// AFTER RENAME food_enviroment_available question 2 visbleif : = OUI question 3

What is the expected behavior?

Independent for a property grid, being active or not(modal) , its must works on same way Example : question 1 question 2 visbleif : = OUI question 3 /////////////////////////// AFTER RENAME food_enviroment_available question 2 visbleif : = OUI question 3

How would you reproduce the current behavior (if this is a bug)?

If you create questions and set on any question a visible if that depends from another, and do the rename, this events never happens

Bug

What is the current behavior?

The survey title gets a style like this: max-width: calc(((100% - 5px) - 2em) - 300px); This (as expected), doesn't work very well with small display sizes, think a survey container of 500px wide...

What is the expected behavior?

I assume that this calculation was added so that the survey title doesn't overlap the logo. I'd expect if no logo was specified (which is the default) then the logoWidth gets ignored and title is allowed to span the whole width.

How would you reproduce the current behavior (if this is a bug)?

• Go to https://surveyjs.io/create-survey
• Set page title
• Test survey
• Set it to mobile view

Workaround

Explicitly setting the logo width to 0 makes it work as expected...

This allows to customize input controls the following way:

  var defaultThemeColorsSurvey = Survey.StylesManager.ThemeColors["modern"];
  defaultThemeColorsSurvey["$text-input-color"] = "blue";
  defaultThemeColorsSurvey["$inputs-background-color"] = "yellow";
  Survey.StylesManager.applyTheme("modern");

See the https://surveyjs.answerdesk.io/ticket/details/t5984/how-to-modify-input-text-colour-in-custom-theme thread for more details

New function that returns all variables in the survey. Variables are not stored in the survey.data

  /**
   * Returns all variables in the survey. Use setVariable function to create a new variable.
   * @see getVariable
   * @see setVariable
   */
  public getVariableNames(): Array<string>;

The common task is to show is to filter choices from previous question by showing selected/unselected items. We allow to do it by using setting choicesVisibleIf property to: " contains " and setting the same choices in two, or more questions. Here is the example. There are two issues with this approach:

1. End-user has to duplicate choices and he/she may forget to modify choices in all questions later.
2. It requires to teach end-users how to set-up choicesVisibleIf property. In general it gives more flexibility, but the most users have problems to follow this step. Solution is to add two properties into "checkbox", "radiogroup" and "dropdown" questions:

  /**
   * Set this property to get choices from the question you have selected except defining them in this question. It will allow to avoid duplication in your survey definition.
   * By setting this property, "choices", "choicesVisibleIf", "choicesEnableIf" and "choicesOrder" properties become invisible, since they are defined in another question.
   * You can set `choicesFromQuestionMode` property to filter choices from another question.
   * @see choices
   * @see choicesFromQuestionMode
   */
  public get choicesFromQuestion(): string;

  /**
   * The property becomes visible when `choicesFromQuestion` property is selected. The default value is "all" and all visible choices from another question are show as it is.
   * You can set this property to "selected" or "unselected" to show only selected choices from the previous question or unselected.
   * @see choicesFromQuestion
   */
  public get choicesFromQuestionMode(): string;

As result your JSON instead of this one becomes following:

{
    elements: [
        {
            type: "checkbox",
            name: "car",
            title: "What cars have you being drived?",
            choices: [
                "Ford",
                "Vauxhall",
                "Volkswagen",
                "Nissan",
                "Audi",
                "Mercedes-Benz",
                "BMW",
                "Peugeot",
                "Toyota",
                "Citroen",
                "Tesla"
            ]
        }, {
            "type": "radiogroup",
            "name": "bestcar",
            "title": "What car did you enjoy the most?",
            "choicesFromQuestion": "car",
            "choicesFromQuestionMode": "selected"
        }, {
            "type": "radiogroup",
            "name": "secondcar",
            "visibleIf": "{car.length} > 1",
            "title": "What car is your second choice?",
            "choicesFromQuestion": "bestcar",
            "choicesFromQuestionMode": "unselected"
        }
    ]
}

We show composite component as one question in Logic UI. However, it doesn't make sense, since composite component is a container for other questions and we have to create expressions with nested questions in composite component.

Add a new property editor - select question inherited from selectbase: "checkbox", "dropdown" and "radiogroup" and turn off/on choices adorners on setting/unsetting choicesFromQuestion property. Please read here more about the functionality.

thank you

onValueChanged function will allow to avoid using question.valueChangedCallback callback. Here is the small example:

Survey.ComponentCollection.Instance.add({
    name: "dropdown_and_text",
    elementsJSON: [
      {
        type: "dropdown",
        name: "combo",
        choices: ["A", "B", "C"],
      },
      { type: "text", name: "text1" },
      { type: "text", name: "text2" },
    ],
    onValueChanged: (question, name, value) => {
     //If combo is changed, then set a double value of "combo" to "text1" and clear "text2"
      if (name == "combo") {
        question.setValue("text1", value + value);
        question.setValue("text2", null);
      }
    },
  });

In the current version v1.8.21 and low, SurveyJS Library have hard-coded validors for different question types. For example comment support: "expression", "text" and "regex" validator types. There is no way to delete or add new validator type for any question type. From v1.8.22, we are adding into Survey settings the following variable:

  supportedValidators: {
    question: ["expression"],
    comment: ["text", "regex"],
    text: ["numeric", "text", "regex", "email"],
    checkbox: ["answercount"],
  },

For example to remove "regex" validator for "comment" you will need to write:

Survey.settings.supportedValidators.comment = ["text"];

We have a popular onValueChanged check error mode, when a user can see an error on changing the value and not on click "Next"/"Complete" buttons, the default behavior. onValueChanging is similar to onValueChanged, except one big difference. If the value is incorrect, there is an error, then value will not set into survey data. It means that survey data will not contains data with validation errors. In this mode, you should be aware that question.value and survey.getValue("questionName") can be different, if the question value is not valid. question.value contains value entered by end-user.

Stack overflow error happens on using single question component in panel dynamic. The following code will produce the error.

  ComponentCollection.Instance.add({
    name: "singlequestion",
    createQuestion: function () {
      var res = new QuestionDropdownModel("question");
      res.choices = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
      return res;
    },
  });
  var survey = new SurveyModel({
    elements: [
      {
        type: "paneldynamic",
        name: "q1",
        templateElements: [
          { type: "text", name: "q1" },
          { type: "singlequestion", name: "q2" },
        ],
      },
    ],
  });
  var panel = <QuestionPanelDynamicModel>survey.getAllQuestions()[0];
  panel.panelCount = 1;

Are you requesting a feature, reporting a bug or asking a question?

Maybe a bug

What is the current behavior?

When using the "showPreviewBeforeComplete": "showAllQuestions", the progress bar is being displayed and says: Page 1 of 1. Is there a way to hide the progress bar during the display of the preview page?

What is the expected behavior?

Not see the progress bar during preview because the preview page is a single page and it doesn't make sense.

How would you reproduce the current behavior (if this is a bug)?

I provided test code below.

What is the current behavior?

The event onValidatedErrorsOnCurrentPage isn't notified of errors set via onServerValidateQuestions.

What is the expected behavior?

The event should be triggered again once options.complete() is called from onServerValidateQuestions.

In the example provided, errors: 1 is printed to the console when the field is blank however when an error is set via onServerValidateQuestions, it prints errors: 0 since it runs before the server validation is completed.

Remove this code for matrices:

  public get isAllowTitleLeft(): boolean {
    return false;
  }

The following code doesn't work correctly:

var processor = new Survey.ProcessValue();
var data = {};
processor.setValue(data, "a.Item1.c1", 1);

After that data equals a: {item1: {c1: 1}}, where item1 should be in capital, a: {Item1: {c1: 1}}. This error leads to issue in triggers for matrices question, when rows values are in upper case.

Add a new option into survey.clearInvisibleValues property.

onHiddenContainer - clear the question value when it or its parent (page or panel) becomes invisible. If a question has value and it was invisible initially then survey clears the value on completing.

It works as onHidden and additional clear value /restore default value on hidding/showing it's container (panel or page).

Currently, questions are sorted by names in translation tab. Some developers want to disable sorting and place they placed on the page. A new setting:

Dynamic panel removes value as "matrixName-total", since it could not find question with this name. We should check for "-total" post prefix before removing this key from the value.

Display mode and readOnly modes did not affect the 'matrixdropdown' type

By using 'display' mode in surveyjs implemented in React web app, I am expecting that all different types (checkboxes, radio buttons, single and multi choice matrix) will be disabled respectively.

Basically extend the survey json => survey.mode = 'display'; Note that in the surveyjs designer everything seems to be working properly.

Right now, there is no way to access parent dynamic panel from nested dynamic panel for text pre-processing. You can access only elements in your dynamic panel as {panel.questionName}. From v1.8.19, you will be able to set the following text into your question title: {parentPanel.questionName}, where parentPanel is the parent Question. Here is the example.

{
    elements: [
      {
        type: "paneldynamic",
        name: "rootPanel",
        panelCount: 1,
        templateElements: [
          {
            type: "text",
            name: "q1",
            title: "{panel.q2}",
          },
          {
            type: "text",
            name: "q2",
          },
          {
            type: "paneldynamic",
            name: "childPanel",
            panelCount: 1,
            templateElements: [
              {
                type: "text",
                name: "childPanel_q1",
                title: "{parentPanel.q2}", ///the example of using "parentPanel".
              },
            ],
          },
        ],
      },
    ],
  }

age() function can return a year more, if the bithday is on the next day. The original bug created on SurveyJS Support Desk.

On loading elements like this:

  {
            type: "dropdown",
            name: "country",
            title: "Select the country...",
            isRequired: true,
            choicesByUrl: {
                url: "https://restcountries.eu/rest/v2/all",
                valueName: "name"
            }
        }

survey.onPropertyChangedCallback will be raised two times for url and valueName. As result SurveyJS Creator will raise onModified event on setting JSON, however nothing has been changed. We should not raise this event on loading choicesByUrl property.

When a question property's readOnly value is set in an onGetPropertyReadOnly event handler, the value applies to the property editor within the SurveyJS Creator's Properties Grid, but does not apply to the question's adorner.

Sampe code:

creator
    .onGetPropertyReadOnly
        .add(function (sender, options) {
            if(options.obj.name == "myQuestion" && options.property.name == "isRequired"){
                options.readOnly = "true";
            }
    });

End-user can edit text in "Translation" tab, even if creator is read only: creator.readOnly = true;.

The following code duplicated the choices property in the property grid:

Survey.Serializer.addProperty("selectbase", {
      name: "testProperty:boolean",
      category: "choices",
    });

The following code will change the display text for questions that use choose in condition property editor:

creator.onGetObjectDisplayName.add(function (sender, options) {
 //We can change showing question display name for all UI elements or for only some of them 
//Here we change them for "condition" editor only
 if(options.reason !== "condition") return;
 options.displayName = options.obj.title + " [" + options.obj.name + "]";
});

Set this option to 1 to have only one logic item in conditions, user will not be able to add "Or"/"And" item. You can set it to 2 to limit to only two logic items and so on. Example:

      var options = {
        showLogicTab: true,
        maxLogicItemsInCondition: 1
      };
      var creator = new SurveyCreator.SurveyCreator("editor", options);

      title: "State",
    }

We do not pre-process this variable {composite.country}, where 'country' is another question in the composite component.

By default we have "Default (English)" and "English" locale. It confuses end-users. We should remove "English" locale in our case and any default locale, in case, it is different from English.

Hello.

While testing pdf library we found that bug. A question like this:

  {
   "type": "boolean",

   "defaultValue": "false",
   "label": {
    "en": "test question"
   },
   "valueTrue": "1",
   "valueFalse": "0"
  }

produces this result

{"test":"1"}

This works fine in browser but when printing to pdf with survey-pdf prints as false. pdf generation only works with {"test": true} Should evaluate result against valueTrue and valueFalse for printing.

We need to use UTC as stored date/time format. It should correctly selects date, write it to question value in UTC and restore. See the https://surveyjs.answerdesk.io/ticket/details/t5725/bootstrap-datepicker-need-to-use-utc thread for more details

This is possible breaking change

Optionally, show detail panel for every row. It should take elements from detailElements property or developer could create them in code via event. The functionality is required by Creator v2.

New added properties:

• detailPanelMode, ["none", "underRow", "underRowSingle"]. Default is "none", the detail Panel is not shown. "underRow" - shows the detail panel under the row and "underRowSingle" works as "underRow" but allows to show only one detail panel, it hides the previous opened detail panel.
• detailElements - the array of elements that detail panel shows.
• detailPanel - the template panel. detailElements equals to detailPanel.elements

See the https://surveyjs.io/Examples/Library?id=survey-lazy&platform=Reactjs&theme=modern example.

React adds new question slow. It re-renders all elements on the page. Removing changing state on changing "elements" array, since we need to react on "rows" array only and do not rerender rows and their elements that are not changed. It improves performance in almost x10 times in case of 10 questions on the page, x100 times in case of 100 questions on a page and x1000 times in case of 1000 questions on the page.

See the https://surveyjs.answerdesk.io/ticket/details/t5629/creator-angular-survey-creation-title-logo-add-editor thread for more details

The following code will generate the JSON schema

Survey.Serializer.generateSchema();

It will contain all properties/components/customwidgets you have added. It will take into account removing/changing properties as well. Use the following code to generate the text:

JSON.stringify(Survey.Serializer.generateSchema(), null, 4)

This code can be used on client(browser) or in NodeJS server code.

If there are several errors in one column in different row, then we generate the same error id for different rows in knockout.

For panels that has expand/collapse buttons aria-expanded and aria-controls attributes are required.

Steps to reproduce. Load survey in SurveyJS Creator with a panel and a question it it, then delete the question. The area for dropping questions, "Please drop a question here from the Toolbox" is invisible and you can't drop anything on the panel.

We have a specific code for "dynamic panel". We should remove this check and make the code question type agnostic.

The initial value (today) is not properly formatted

When we are calling clearIncorrectValues() function, choices could be not come from the server yet. The easy solution is do nothing if choicesByUrlis set, but activeChocies is empty yet.

Matrix dynamic question can't edit array of survey elements, for examples question.choices or survey.calculatedValues. We should change the code so it will be possible to use matrix dynamic for editing SurveyJS elements arrays.

The original issue came to SurveyJS Support Desk. Here is the plunker that shows the issue.

If user press "Next" or "Complete" button fast, then the server validation can performed several times. We have to disable calling validations the second time and wait to complete the first validations. Here is the link on original ticket.

Set this property different to 0 to limit the number of selected choices in the checkbox. Unselected choices will be disabled if the number of selected equals to maxSelectedChoices property. A use will not be able to select more then maxSelectedChoices items.

Bug

What is the current behavior?

When setting "startWithNewLine": false on a text type question the Preview is crashing.

What is the expected behavior?

To view the Preview page

How would you reproduce the current behavior (if this is a bug)?

See the json below. For the bug to occur, you have to implement onUpdateQuestionCssClasses. The crash happens when calling sender.state or sender.isDisplayMode.

Hi @andrewtelnov thanks for the quick reply ! I forked your example, here is mine: https://plnkr.co/edit/PlHC94Vg18R9P30o

I can add two rows. After that neither the "add row" or "remove row" button work:

Originally posted by @simevo in https://github.com/surveyjs/survey-library/issues/2443#issuecomment-723638099

The original issue was created in SurveyJS Support Desk. The following trigger will go to "question1" on any cell change if the "Col1" in the first row is 1:

      {
        type: "skip",
        expression: "{matrix[0].Col1} = 1",
        gotoName: "question1",
      }

It should focus the "question1" on changing this cell only into 1.

Add readOnly property into dropdown column property editor

"select2" widget is not activated after this code:

Survey.CustomWidgetCollection.Instance.setActivatedBy("select2", "type");

See the https://surveyjs.answerdesk.io/ticket/details/t5577/why-data-is-clear-when-masking-is-applied-on-textbox thread for more details

Add survey.editingObj: Base property. When it is not empty the survey will use editingObj properties as values. For example:

var survey = new Survey.SurveyModel(); 
survey.editingObj = anotherSurvey.getQuestionByName("question1");
var name = survey.getValue("name"); //name will be equal to question1
survey.setValue("isRequired", true); //question1 becomes required

The idea is to allow edit any object properties by our Survey

If survey.clearInvisibleValues is not "none", survey asks invsible question to clear their values. However it doesn't work for composite question.

If there is a comment for a question inside dynamic panel, for example comment for other value in radiogroup, then clearIncorrectValues function clears it. It should keep comment value in this case.

See original issue

onPropertyChanged or onItemValuePropertyChanged question callbacks doesn't work when item of ":multiplevalues" property checked/unchecked. For example, it leads to incorrect work of Undo/Redo functionality in Creator. UPD: Here is the simple example:

Survey.Serializer.addProperty("carowner", {name: "letters:multiplevalues", choices: ["A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F"] });

SurveyJS Creator creates a list of checkboxes from "A", ... ,"F" and the value of the property is an array on letters.

Currently, the SurveyJS Library creates a standard property for this type, while it should create a wrapper for JavaScript array to override push/pop/unshift/splice functions and call property change notification.

There are two issues there. At first server validation, survey.onServerValidateQuestions event, executed on next page, and doesn't take into account that checkErrorMode is "onComplete". The second issue, on focusing question it doesn't change the current page and if the question with the error is located on a previous page, not the last one, end-user will not see any error and the last page will be the current one.

The original issue came from SurveyJS Support Desk.

Add removeNonExisingRootKeys parameter, it is false by default.

//@param removeNonExisingRootKeys - set this parameter to true to remove keys from survey.data that doesn't have corresponded questions and calculated values
public clearIncorrectValues(removeNonExisingRootKeys: boolean = false);

  /**
   * An expression that returns true or false. If it returns true the Panel becomes required.
   * The library runs the expression on survey start and on changing a question value. 
   * If the property is empty then isRequired property is used.
   * @see isRequired
   */
panel.requiredIf(): string;

Translation tab creates a group for non serializable properties. It should not.

At the moment question actions are shown on question hover. Sometimes (for elements in the same line) this leads to actions overlapping and weird UI. See the https://surveyjs.answerdesk.io/ticket/details/t5530/start-in-new-line-view-bugs thread for more details.

I've changed hover question highlighting from actions display to showing question border on hover

Add orientation property:

{
 name: "orientation",
 default: "horizontal",
 choices: ["horizontal", "vertical"],
 category: "general"
}

1. Go to https://plnkr.co/edit/Ru1uuCWejE8mJXgT

2. Click choice of required question and get this:

3. Then click next and get this:

Warning: setState(...): Cannot update during an existing state transition (such as within render or another component's constructor). Render methods should be a pure function of props and state; constructor side-effects are an anti-pattern, but can be moved to componentWillMount.

this warning appears every time when i click next

I have some questions that have visible: "false" That means they are invisible to users.

I want to track the survey completion progress. So, I have set the following: "progressBarType":"questions"

Then I have this in the js file: var surveyProgress = survey.getProgress(); console.log(surveyProgress);

What is the current behavior?

survey.getProgress() logs weird output on console. Even when the survey is answered fully then also the progress is not 100 percent.

What is the expected behavior?

If say 6 out of 23 visible questions are answered then the progress should be 26 percent.

autoComplete property set the autocomplete attribute for html input tag.

Let's say we have the following JSON:

{
      checkErrorsMode: "onComplete",
      pages: [
        {
          elements: [
            { type: "text", name: "q0" },
            { type: "text", name: "q1", isRequired: true },
          ],
        },
        {
          elements: [{ type: "text", name: "q2", isRequired: true }],
        },
        {
          elements: [{ type: "text", name: "q3", isRequired: true }],
        },
      ],
    }

If a user click button "Next" and then "Complete" without entering any data, then it should come back into first page and the question "q1", the first question with the error should be focused. Currently it doesn't work correctly, question "q0" is focused.

By default we show one row with all columns in condition property editor. For example: dynamicMatrixQuestionName[0].columnName. You can change this property to show more rows, by setting it to 2, Survey.settings.matrixMaxRowCountInCondition = 2; will add colums for the second row as : dynamicMatrixQuestionName[1].columnName if matrix rowCount is 2 or bigger.

The original request came from SurveyJS Support Desk.

Disable reactive properties to change the element state during rendering by moving all rendering into protected renderElement(). Here is the render() function code in SurveyElementBase class:

  render(): JSX.Element {
    if (!this.canRender()) return null;
    this.isRenderingValue = true;
    var res = this.renderElement();
    this.isRenderingValue = false;
    return res;
  }

We should use renderElement() function in our react classes. The read-only protected isRendering property will block chaning state on changing the value react properties that can happen during react rendering.

This attribute works for objects that uses in arrays. Currently we use this attribute for matrixdropdowncolumn and calculatedvalue classes. Here is the definition of calculatedvalue.

Serializer.addClass(
  "calculatedvalue",
  [{name: "!name", isUnique: true}, "expression:expression", "includeIntoResult:boolean"],
  function() {
    return new CalculatedValue();
  },
  "base"
);

If you do not want to have a unique column names for matrix dropdown/dynamic please use the following code:

Survey.Serializer.findProperty("matrixdropdowncolumn", "name").isUnique = false;

There is a "undefined" error if you are using tagbox custom widget in the matrix dynamic/dropdown as a cell question.

The idea is to avoid untificial notifying Vue on property change during rendering

Simplify the code and instead of using onComplete event, use surveyPostId survey property.

Setting Survey Creator localization locale as: SurveyCreator.localization.currentLocale = "fr"; doesn't set locale 'fr' for surveys that we use in condition property editor. As result localization strings for internal surveys are still in "en" locale.

If an end-user enters into condition value in the condition property editor value as "012" or "000" we should recognize that it is not a number, but string and put it into quotes as: {val} == '000'`.

Currently we have only two bindable property: rowCount in matrix dynamic and panelCount in panel dynamic. We will add bindable properties based on our users requests and their scenarios. Bindable property - you can create a two way binding between a question value and another question property. The following JSON set the binding for dynamic panel panelCount property:

Bug

What is the current behavior?

showInvisibleElements does only affect choicesVisibleIf but not:

• visibleIf of choices/rows/columns
• columnsVisibleIf
• rowsVisibleIf

What is the expected behavior?

All visibility conditions should be affected.

How would you reproduce the current behavior (if this is a bug)?

Set showInvisibleElements to true and see if the elements get visible.

Provide the test code and the tested page URL (if applicable)

Example of using:

  survey.onGetQuestionNo.add(function (sender, options) {
    options.no = "a.b." + options.no + ")";
  });

or

  survey.onGetQuestionNo.add(function (sender, options) {

The following JSON will not work, untill the second matrix first row is empty:

{
    questions: [
      {
        name: "q1",
        type: "matrixdropdown",
        columns: [{ name: "col1" }, { name: "col2" }],
        rows: ["row1", "row2"],
        cellType: "text",
      },
      {
        name: "q2",
        type: "matrixdropdown",
        columns: [{ name: "col3" }, { name: "col4" }],
        rows: ["row3", "row4"],
        cellType: "text",
      },
    ],
    triggers: [
      {
        type: "copyvalue",
        expression: "{q1.row1.col1} notempty",
        fromName: "q1.row1.col1",
        setToName: "q2.row3.col3",
      },
    ],
  }

Here is the small JSON

{
      clearInvisibleValues: "onHidden",
      elements: [
        {
          name: "q1",
          type: "text",
          defaultValue: 1,
          visible: false,
        },
      ],
    }

By default question is invisible, but it has value since defaultValue set the value into question. However, it is not expected, since survey.clearInvisibleValues is 'onHidden'. On making the question visible, and then invisible and visible again, the value becomes empty, also it would be expected to have it 1, the defaultValue. We should keep the value empty until the question is invisible and set the defaultValue on making the question visible when survey.clearInvisibleValues is 'onHidden'.

Reporting a BUG

What is the current behavior?

When using Matrix with Vue, when you choose an answer it becomes unresponsive for a few seconds, depending on how long is the matrix, then in console it throws a error

vue.js:634 [Vue warn]: You may have an infinite update loop in a component render function.

We are returning 0 for even if question value is undefined and not an empty array. However, if the question1 value was the array, and then it becomes an undefined/null value then we start to return undefined, on using internal ProcessValue.getValueInfo() function. It uses the cached path and if a value in this path becomes undefined then it returns undefined as well. We should return 0. It is the expected value in an expression in this case.

The issue was introduced several months ago due perfomance optimization - we do not create the path for the complex values "a.b.c.d" on getting the value every time.

The following code should work:

  FunctionFactory.Instance.register("getCustValue", function getCustValue(
    params
  ) {
   //access to a question instance without passing it into params as question name: this.survey.getQuestionByName(params[0])
    return this.question.inputType == "number" ? this.question.value : 0;
  });
  var survey = new SurveyModel({
    elements: [
      {
        name: "q1",
        type: "text",
        validators: [{ type: "expression", expression: "getCustValue() > 5" }],
      },
    ],
  });

If there is a code like this:

  creator.onQuestionAdded.add(function (sender, options) {
    options.question.title = "new title";
  });

then it would require to click two times on "Undo" to remove the question. Changing title will be added as a new undo transaction. If there are several properties changes, then more "Undo" clicks would be required. The same story with onPageAdded and onPanelAdded events.

creator.onGetObjectTextInPropertyGrid event can use any property of the selected object, not only name and title. Right now it is called on changing name and title properties only.

Call the following code for example: creator.updateObjectTextInPropertyGrid(creator.survey.getQuestionByName("question1");

To show the help in the property grid, you have to modify your localization as the following:

//Get default localization strings
var curStrings = SurveyCreator.localization.getLocale("");
curStrings.pehelp.title = "Here is the help for title property for all object types";
//If we do not define question_title/page_title/survey_title, then title help will be used.
curStrings.pehelp.question_title = "Here is the help for question title property";
curStrings.pehelp.page_title = "Here is the help for page title property";
curStrings.pehelp.survey_title = "Here is the help for survey title property";

Some scenarios can require to pre-process chart data before display: hide items with zero answers count, show top N or other similar cases. We need to support some cases out of the box and provide a mechanism to implement such user requirements.
