I want to insert a language dependent text into my survey. An explanation for the "asterik" (*). In the navigation of the survey should be a text like this "*=required". We make our surveys in english and in german. In german it should be "*=Pflichtfrage".

If I create a survey that is not anonymous.
I send invitations via email.
I want users to save their survey and come back later without having to create some user and password information.
All they should need is just their token to come back and go on with their survey.
I know that there is the option of answer persistence but this does not work if I let the useres answer the survey questions group by group and it is not intuitive for the users.
There has to be a explicit button for saving the survey unless users would not think that there is the possibility for saving the survey and come back later. Especially if they are not really computer experts

There are surveys we take that require some degree of geographic information to be submitted.
Rather than ask novice/general public users to use a GPS and submit coordinates (which invariably end up incorrect), we would like to have them use a map-style interface like Google maps, where they can drag and drop the pin where they were when they saw what they are reporting, and then have the question type save the latitude and longitude of their dropped pin.

We use a lot of token fields/attributes. So every time we want to export the results to an application we have to manually check every box when choosing token fields in the "Token Controls" section.

When display question code QUESTION_CODE is working for normal screen surveys. It would be great to be able to turn it on and off.
Currently we run a lot of research surveys. In the development/pilot phase, we collect feed back about how the survey is structured. The problem is that it's hard to identify which question the feed back refers to. Having the question codes would make this a lot easier.
Then when the survey is ready for real use, the question codes would be irrelevant. Currently the only possible way would be to create a custom template.
Our LimeSurvey installation services a university with lots of org units and thus lots of custom templates. Creating another custom template just to display question codes is very annoying.

From time to time we encounter the next situation: we have a multiple selection question, we will like to be able to know when someone has selected all the options so we can direct them to another question.
For that we suggest making the 'All of the above' option automatically kick in if the participant checks all other options.

When having many Limesurvey installations on the same server and you want to add another fresh installation you really have to take care to use the correct settings in config.php. Otherwise you might update an existing installation instead of setting up a new one because when calling /admin/install the update script is called automatically without asking you if you really want to proceed. You might end in having an old installation using old files but being updated to the latest DB scheme which causes lots of problems at this old installation.

Idea comes up, thinking about an anonymous survey scenario
Imagine..
a survey should be anonymous, but you should have the advantages of a token based survey (like.. save or finish later on an other Computer).
For that you need to create tokens, export them and send a token to each participant
(it‘s like the TAN of online banking) by .. ok.. sounds funny, by mail! (not email! :-)).
In this scenario the participant would have a good feeling, that it‘s really anonymous.

In a field declared as a number field it is not possible to fill in numbers with a "," as decimal separator even if the language choosen should allow this (e.g. German). This can cause a lot of confusion to survey participants if they get an error when the number ist typed in correctly.

Possibility to display a page / group navigator on the survey view. If you have a survey with, for example ,15 groups and your display setting is group by group it would be very handy to be able to have a pulldown of some sort with the group titles to skip clicking back, back, back and go straight to the selected page / group.
In the current situation a user that is at the last page of a 15 group-survey and must correct something on the first or second page has to click and wait for 14 or 13 times before he is on the first or second page. After correcting he must click another 14 or 13 times to get back to the final submit page.

As the admin for a large limesurvey site i often create surveys for other people but then make them the administrator of the survey and assign them the rights to access the survey
In the survey list i still see all the surveys i created for these people although i am not the administrator, i am the "creator" of the survey
If I could transfer it to the actual administrator of the survey i could find surveys better

Limesurvey tokens already have a field named token status that takes the "OK" default value. When this field is updated withj any other value, the token email can be automatically bypassed by LimeSurvey invitation/reminder process.
The goal of this idea is to design a new process that would make it possible to an external probe script, to send a failed-email-address notification to LimeSurvey so that the token status is automatically updated (right now this is only a manual update).
The probe script is external to limesurvey since its operation depends on the mail-server system used by the Administrator Bounce address.
Special care must be take to prevent anyone on the internet from sending a specially crafted fake bounced email that would disable valid tokens.

When a survey has been completed, we have chosen to receive the full notification including questions + answers.
It would be nice if the email could be formatted via html/css so that it is easier to read in email client. presently it is essentially just plain text.

Survey settings is composed of 2 pages:
1 Survey configs, with tuples (name-value) .e.g. Allow Saves Y/N
2 Survey textes, with survey title, welcome, endmsg.
The first part of settings are set at start of your work with a survey, and rarely fixed later.
The behaviour of a survey is technical choice, with a tendency of no change over time.
The second part is very frequently used, I believe it stays at the same level of questions and aswer, often modified for the same aesthetic or pratic reasons.

I am doing surveys that involve showing participants a message; at some point in the questions that follow (after reading the message) their responses begin to differ from participants who did not read a message. It would be nice to know more about when that happens.
messages aside, this would also allow us to omit questions that are taking participants an excessively long time to complete (compared to other questions)

Basically there are situations where the results of a survey may need to be viewed by a number of people, but you do not wish to have these people be able to alter the results of the survey.
Case in point is one I worked on for a group of customer service reps. The survey was intended to determine how well each CSR was doing and the support in general. Now we want to have the CSRs be able to view the results across the board, but there is no option to disable their ability to alter the results of a response. So if they noticed that one customer gave them a bad rating, they can change it. Currently the only way to have the CSRs view the results is to give them permission, but that permission also allows them to alter the results.
I think there should be a way to give users/groups permission to view the results, but nothing else.

Once the super administrator plays a role of God, creating supporting users accounts for a survey he has a problem. Our business is very old and a lot of our customers just not connected to internet, or afraid of computer or just very-very far from this hell of internet. As a result we can establish electronic communication with only fraction of total number. So the idea we adopted was to have our phone operator sitting against the "Display tokens" screen, clicking on "Do survey" icon and then calling to our customer. In such a way we have our telephone survey results put in. But in order to provide our "phone operator" with this option we have to provide him with the "Activate survey" permission. This allows him activate and deactivate the survey, which is actually not of his business.
