Released: February 14, 2024

SurveyJS v1.9.130 introduces a breaking change: the fitToContainer property is now enabled by default. In the new release, we also add an API to swap the order of answers in a Yes/No (Boolean) question and implement several minor enhancements and bug fixes.

fitToContainer is a Boolean property that specifies whether a survey auto-adjusts its sizes to fit into the HTML element it's placed in. Previously, the default value of this property was false, which meant that the survey could disregard the sizes of its HTML container and draw pop-up dialogs outside it.

Since SurveyJS v1.9.130, the default value of the fitToContainer property is changed to true. Now, the survey and its elements are always rendered within the borders of a specified HTML container. If you want to revert to the previous behavior, explicitly set the fitToContainer property to false in a survey JSON schema:

const surveyJson = {
  // ...
  "fitToContainer": false
};

A Yes/No, or Boolean, question asks respondents to select between two options: yes or no, true or false, etc. Previously, the order of the Yes and No answers was fixed. The new release allows you to swap the order by enabling the question's swapOrder property:

const surveyJson = {
  // ...
  "elements": [{
    "name": "yes-no-question",
    "type": "boolean",
    // ...
    "swapOrder": true
  }]
};
