Solved Can't edit question types after the recent update to 4.6.1+210510

[neki]

Hi,

I have an issue with editing question type and few other parameters on the main Editor page. It seems to be cased by the recent update to 4.6.1+210510 (yesterday, everything worked fine).

I would appreciete any help. Thank you!

Best,
Martin

Hi Martin,

do you see any errors on the server/app side or on the browser which could give some hint?
This smells like an upstream regression, so if we get more context we can see if it is already reported or otherwise report first.

@nebulon Hi Johannes,

Thank you for quick reply. I do not see any error in the Fireforx developer console if you mean this. Also, I tried Opera and FF on the other computer with same results.

I am not sure, how to report the bug (I am not a programmer or developer).

Best,
Martin

@neki not a problem. Can you describe how to reproduce this from a fresh limesurvey app instance and I will try to produce the error on my side, then I will report it upstream if it does not turn out to be a packaging bug.

For your actual installation, you can restore to the previous version using a backup so you have a working instance. Just make sure to disable automatic updates until the issue is resolved.

Hi Johannes,

I have restored the previsous version from backup and everything works fine now. Thank you.

Also, I have done clean install of LS, left user management on the app itself and went straight to the admin page. There, I created a new survey and checked "create the first group and question" (this is maybe not exact wording, I used Czech locale). When I tried to edit the question, I was not able to change type of question. There is just a crossed circle. The same applies to encryption item and few others.

All the best,
Martin

@neki hm I see, in fact there seem to be quite a few problems with that version. I am also not able to properly group questions and such. I think it makes sense to first revoke the latest release and take a closer look then. There are no errors shown anywhere, which makes it also harder to understand what exactly doesn't work.

[nebulon]

@neki can you check the latest release? At least in my manual tests this works now again as expected.

@nebulon I have some critical surveys to be finished this week. Thus, I can not test the upgrade until this weekend.

@nebulon Hi Johannes,
I have just updated to the latest version of LS and it seems to be OK.

Thank you very much for your help. I have learnt how to use backups and my takeaway is that it would be better to update manually (and backup first).

All the best,
Martin
