Released: November 14, 2023

SurveyJS v1.9.117 adds a search functionality to Survey Creator's Property Grid and introduces a capability to reorder special choices (None, Other, Select All) in select-based questions. Several minor enhancements and bug fixes are included as well.

You can now easily find survey element properties in Property Grid using a new search bar. Type in a property name or a part of it and use arrow buttons to switch between found properties. Search results include properties from all categories, regardless of whether a category is expanded or collapsed.

If you want to disable the new search functionality, set the propertyGrid.enableSearch property in global settings to false:

import { settings } from "survey-creator-core";

settings.propertyGrid.enableSearch = false;

SurveyJS v1.9.117 includes an API that allows you to position special choice items (None, Other, Select All) above or below other choice items in select-based questions (Checkboxes, Radio Button Group, Single- and Multi-Select Dropdown). To specify new positions for the special choices, use the specialChoicesOrder object within global survey settings. This object contains the following properties: selectAllItem, noneItem, and otherItem. Each of them accepts an array of integer numbers. Negative numbers place a special choice item above regular choice items, positive numbers place it below them. For instance, the code below specifies the following order of choices: None, Select All, regular choices, Other.

import { settings } from "survey-core";

settings.specialChoicesOrder.noneItem = [-2];
settings.specialChoicesOrder.selectAllItem = [-1];
settings.specialChoicesOrder.otherItem = [1];

If you want to duplicate a special choice item above and below other choices, add two numbers to the corresponding array:

// Displays Select All above and below other choices
settings.specialChoicesOrder.selectAllItem = [-1, 3];
