release notes

SurveyJS v2.3.13

Released: October 28, 2025

SurveyJS v2.3.13 introduces the ability to define custom question numbering patterns for individual survey pages and dynamic panels, and adds an option to completely remove the Property Grid from Survey Creator. This release also includes bug fixes and minor enhancements across all SurveyJS libraries.

Custom Question Numbering Pattern Within Survey Pages and Dynamic Panels

When question numbering is enabled, the survey's questionStartIndex property determines the question numbering pattern throughout the form. Starting with SurveyJS v2.3.12, you can also set questionStartIndex for individual survey pages and dynamic panels to create independent numbering patterns.

SurveyJS Form Library: Custom question numbering for pages and dynamic panels

The following example demonstrates how to assign unique questionStartIndex values to pages and dynamic panels:

  • The survey restarts numbering on each page ("showQuestionNumbers": "onpage").
  • Each page defines its own questionStartIndex that includes the page and question numbers.
  • Questions within the team_member_feedback dynamic panel has an internal question numbering pattern.

Open in Plunker

When a page defines its own questionStartIndex, all subsequent pages inherit this value until another page specifies a new one.

Remove the Property Grid from Survey Creator

To restrict content authors to the design surface only, you can now completely remove the Property Grid from the Survey Creator interface. This release introduces the removeSidebar property, which removes the Property Grid entirely.

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

const creator = new SurveyCreatorModel(creatorOptions);
creator.removeSidebar = true;

To keep the Property Grid available but temporarily hidden, use the showSidebar property instead.

Bug Fixes and Minor Enhancements

Form Library

  • {panelIndex} is not updated when survey.data is defined (#10521)
  • Expressions do not work correctly when they reference a question with only a number in its name (#10526)
  • Choices with Nested Content: Nested question values persist when clearInvisibleValues is "onHiddenContainer" and an option is unchecked and checked again (#10530)

  • [Survey Creator] Dynamic Panel: Changes in "Question numbering" aren't reflected on the design surface if the parent element's numbering is disabled (#10539)

Survey Creator

  • The Themes tab displays the timer if it is enabled for the survey (#7228)
  • Converting a Single-Line Input question to Email doesn't add "inputType": "email" to the survey JSON schema (#7225)
  • Yes/No (Boolean) question: Label for "True" and Label for "False" editors should be text boxes rather than text areas (#7229)
  • Enabling the page-by-page edit mode hides the JSON Editor tab (#7236)
