drop-down lists bug?

drop-down lists bug?

Another error is that once a student responds and clicks to see their own responses, it displays the top answer when questions are based on a drop-down menu.  In this example, my sample student selected the middle option in each of the drop-down lists, yet when displaying Your Response, the display defaults back to the top answer in each list:

sample questionnaire with drop-down list

What the teacher sees appears to be correct.

There were also reports of a 1969 completion date, but I haven't been able to replicate that.

Hi Suzan,

I have split your message to a new discussion because it is NOT related to the discussion where you originally posted it.

I do not understand your problem. Your screenshot shows a questionnaire being answered, it does not show a questionnaire report. The "Your response" report should show the actual student's responses to the right of the drop-down lists, as per my attached screenshot.

Which versions of Questionnaire and Moodle are you using?

I can't duplicate the issue you are seeing. What version of questionnaire is this?

Unfortunately the OP seems to have forgotten about her question in this forum, although I sent her a PM and she logged in today: Last access to course Wednesday, 16 January 2019, 10:41 PM  (17 hours 41 mins)

Not forgotten, just the start of our semester and limited staff available.  The problem is that when students complete the questionnaire and review their responses, the questionnaire defaults back to the original list of options - this video hopefully explains what I am referring to

What the instructor sees is the accumulated responses for the class so she gets a response she can use and is fine.

The version of the questionnaire we are using is 2018050101 and here are the settings for the questionnaire (everything else has been left at the basic default)

Thanks for coming back to this discussion, and for your video, Susan. Sorry about "pushing" you for an answer.

Indeed your video shows that the display for the student viewing their own response is not what it should be. There are actually 2 (related?) problems with the display you are getting.

  1. as you mentioned in your message, the selected element in your dropdown box reverts to the first element (rather than the element selected by the questionnaire respondent)
  2. the selected element is not displayed to the right of the drop-down box, as it should (as displayed in my previous answer)

You could try to upgrade to a more recent version of Questionnaire.

Another possibility is the Moodle visual theme you are using (what is it?). You could try switching to a standard theme such as Boost.

Finally, which platform and which browser are you using? You could try switching to different ones to check that the problem is still there.

I don't think it's related to your questionnaire settings, anyway.

Please keep us informed so we can help solve this intriguing happening.

Joseph

Not to worry Joseph, the discussion remained on my radar, even though not active 微笑, until volume of activity gave me time to follow up.

To answer your questions in reverse - the problem is browser independent; we use FireFox the majority of the time, but also tried Internet Explorer, Internet Edge, Chrome, and Safari on a MacBook Pro.
 
We did wonder if the theme could be the problem because it has been causing some minor display issues in other areas.  We are currently using the older More theme for everything, but have plans to make some changes this summer when we don't have active courses.

In regards to the version of the Questionnaire plugin, I am ahead of you there and sent a request out to have it updated to the latest version.  Hopefully this is the issue and not the theme.

The Questionnaire plugin has been updated to the most recent version (and created database errors in a few courses recycling very old questionnaires), but it didn't resolve the display problem.  This leaves Theme as the major suspect and we have requested that the Essential and Adaptable themes be added to our test server, so we can check it out there.  If that resolves the problem, I will post an update.
