release notes

SurveyJS v1.12.11

Released: November 20, 2024

SurveyJS v1.12.11 introduces a behavior change in Form Library: survey pages are now scrolled to the top when users switch between them. Other notable updates include: performance increase when working with large surveys, fixed memory leaks, and an API to specify a default device for survey preview in Survey Creator.

[Behavior Change] Survey pages are now scrolled to the top when users switch between them

Previously, when users switch to a survey page, it was scrolled to the first question. This behavior is deemed incorrect because the survey header, progress bar, and other elements above the question area are left outside the viewport. Since SurveyJS Form Library v1.12.11, survey pages are scrolled to the top regardless of their content to display the aforementioned elements.

Survey Creator: Specify a default device for survey preview

Survey Creator includes a Preview tab where you can see how your survey will look and behave once it is deployed. This tab allows you to preview the survey on different devices: desktop, smartphone, and tablet.

Survey Creator: Devices for survey preview

Surveys are previewed on desktop by default. The new release introduces a previewDevice property, which allows you to select a different default device. For instance, the following Survey Creator configuration specifies to preview surveys on iPad. Users will be able to select a different device at runtime.

import { SurveyCreatorModel } from "survey-creator-core";
const creatorOptions = {
  // ...
  previewDevice: "iPad"
};
const creator = new SurveyCreatorModel(creatorOptions);
