To toggle the questions to optional, the button would query the DB, find all questions in the current survey with mandatory=Y and change them to mandatory=M.

We need to use "M" so we can find them to toggle them back later.

The system would see "M" as non-mandatory so all of these questions could now be skipped in a Q/A process.

This way only the questions that the survey author had set to mandatory would be affected.

To toggle the questions back to mandatory, the button would query the DB, find all questions in the current survey with mandatory=M and change them to mandatory=Y.

I've put together a little php script to demonstrate the concept that you can grab at http://partnersinc.biz/testsites/misc_images/mandatory_toggle.txt (can't seem to attach anything here!).

A more elegant solution may be to have the button/input set a session variable to disable the "checkmandatorys" function. (thanks Carsten)

Some red text could then be displayed at the bottom of the survey indicating that it is in "Q/A" mode and all questions are optional.

add at least a commented inclusion
< !-- < script type="text/javascript" src="$TEMPLATEURL$template.js"> -->
so that the designer guy can learn-by-reading that the user javascripts starts inactivated with BASIC, also he'll quickly reactivate template.js if he'll have to.

Not sure how it would be done in the back end but basically add a checkbox to the "Notification & data management" panel to include the startlanguage column of the lime_survey_SID table in the exportable data.
