Released: June 4, 2025

SurveyJS v2.1.1 adds support for exclusive options in Checkbox questions and includes bug fixes and minor enhancements.

An exclusive option clears all other selected choices in the same question when chosen. The Checkboxes question type in SurveyJS already supports predefined exclusive options, such as None, Refuse to Answer, and Don't Know. Starting with SurveyJS v2.1.1, you can make any option exclusive by enabling its isExclusive property. For example, the following code marks the "not-employed" option as exclusive:

const surveyJson = {
  "elements": [
    {
      "type": "checkbox",
      "name": "workplace-benefits",
      "title": "Which of the following benefits do you currently receive from your employer?",
      "description": "Select all that apply.",
      "choices": [
        "Health insurance",
        "Paid vacation",
        "Retirement plan",
        "Gym membership",
        "Company stock options",
        {
          "value": "not-employed",
          "text": "I am not currently employed",
          "isExclusive": true
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

To mark a choice option as exclusive in Survey Creator, locate the Choices table, click a Pen icon next to the desired option, and enable the Clear others when selected checkbox:

To support exclusive options, the type of the choices property in the Checkboxes question has been changed from itemvalue[] to checkboxitem[]. If you previously checked a question's type using the getType() method, you should now use the isDescendantOf() method instead:

// Before SurveyJS v2.1.1
if (question.getType() === "itemvalue") {
  // ...  
}

// Starting with SurveyJS v2.1.1:
if (obj.isDescendantOf("itemvalue")) {
  //...
}

Survey Creator: Loop and Merge with Multi-Select Dropdown and Dynamic Matrix

Form Library

• Multi-Select Dropdown (Tag Box) doesn't have an OK button when the drop-down list is in full screen mode (#9962)
• Expression produces unexpected results when it references a matrix row that has the same name as its parent matrix (#9967)
• Dynamic Panel: Using a combination of resetValueIf, visibleIf, and defaultValue for a nested question may result in an infinite loop error (#9956)

Survey Creator
