There are very much topics in the forum that deal with rights and session problems so it would be great to have a check if the necessary folders are writeable and if sessions on the server are created correctly (not sure how this can best be checked, any ideas?).

we are running limesurvey version 1.85+ (7337).

In questions using multiple numeric answers with sliders, sometimes we have answers that the participant can skip if they wish.

If they have clicked at all on the slider answer before deciding to skip it, however, a value is recorded. They can then slide back and forth after that but cannot go back to no value (so are in effect at that point forced to answer/have an answer value recorded).

We would like a way for participants to reset the slider value to nothing (not zero but no value) as if they had never clicked on the slider at all.

Make the infos like browser agent, javascriptversion, OS and additonal infos available in the results.

Some workarounds are not working with different browsers. E.g. you wonder why a hidden question was filled out with a invalid value (solution, very old browser wasn't hiding the question). If you have the additional infos at hand you can quickly pinpoint what might be the cause of that answer pattern.

The variables could also be made accessible for conditions.
But to save them into the results would be already a big help to give feedback about problems and weighting them in terms of how often they would occur in the field.

I am experiencing the same issue with twodifferent kinds of question:
1) I have set up a multiple numerical input question so that the people who decide to answer must distribute 100 points (%) into a few categories (equals_num_value = 100). This question is set up as not mandatory. However when one decides to skip it and go on, a warning saying that the question must be properly answered appears. In this way it is not possible to go on without answering this question, which is what I don't want. I would like people to be free to answer or not this question. Those who decide to answer must answer properly, that is they must distribute 100 points into given categories;
2) the same thing happens in a ranking question. The question is not mandatory: so the people who decide to answer must rank all the listed categories (7), while those who decide to skip it must have the chance to go on without answering.

I have a standard survey which I call template.
I export this each time and import it again to create a new survey and rename the imported survey.

In the 'Template Survey' I have an attribute setup in the tokens section called 'Occupation'.

When I export my 'Template Survey' structure, and view this in excel, I can see the token attribute 'Occupation'.

When I create a new survey and import 'Template Survey' and give this a new name, it does not import the token attribute 'Occupation'.

This would save alot of time for repetitive surveys / standard templates.

Id really like a setup wizard that allowed for updating of the config.php file. It would be really good if errors could then be displayed to indicate the entries that are stopping the install from proceeding.

The display of question attributes has changed from v1.86 to v1.87.
At the moment in the v1.87-dev branch just all question attributes are displayed, if the admin clicks at advanced settings. Therefore it's hard to see, which question attributes have been modified = are changed against the default values.

The evaluated TOTAL assessment (sum) is nicely displayed at the end of the survey - which can only be seen by the user who filled the survey in.
However, this result is not stored at the answers database. After a lot of user filled the survey in, i would like to see the sums given for all of these users.
Now i have to export the answers and should repeat the assessment / summarize in Excel before i can see these TOTAL sums.
