Released: November 1, 2023

SurveyJS v1.9.115 introduces a breaking change: obsolete licensing API (the haveCommercialLicense property) is no longer supported. In addition, this release adds a capability to dynamically specify default text box values in Multiple Textboxes questions and includes several bug fixes and minor enhancements.

Previously, you could remove alert banners in SurveyJS products by setting the haveCommercialLicense property to true. In v1.9.101, we added a new setLicenseKey(key) method, which was working alongside haveCommercialLicense but was going to eventually replace this property. Since the new v1.9.115 release, the haveCommercialLicense property is no longer supported, and the setLicenseKey method becomes the only way to activate your license. Please visit the following page for access to the key and instructions on how to update your code: How to Remove the Alert Banner.

The new release adds a defaultValueExpression property that allows you to specify default values for individual items in Multiple Textboxes questions. This property accept expressions. The following code shows a Multiple Textboxes question with two items: Start Date and End Date. The defaultValueExpression property specifies today as the default Start Date and sets a date 10 days from today as the default End Date.

const surveyJson = {
  "elements": [{
    "type": "multipletext",
    "name": "vacation-dates",
    "title": "Vacation dates",
    "items": [{
      "name": "start",
      "isRequired": true,
      "inputType": "date",
      "title": "Start",
      "defaultValueExpression": "today()"
    }, {
      "name": "end",
      "isRequired": true,
      "inputType": "date",
      "title": "End",
      "defaultValueExpression": "today(10)"
    }]
  }]
}

At SurveyJS, we are committed to ensuring the accessibility of our product to all users. To achieve this, we now conduct comprehensive accessibility tests for 15 different question types using a combination of powerful tools, specifically Axe and TestCafe. This allows us to make sure that the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) requirements outlined in the following accessibility standards are met when questions are rendered and interacted with:

• WCAG 2.0 Level A
• WCAG 2.0 Level AA
• WCAG 2.1 Level A
• WCAG 2.1 Level AA
