Released: September 17, 2025

SurveyJS v2.3.7 introduces several new features, including exclusive columns in matrix questions, in-place editing control in Survey Creator, Dashboard support for composite and specialized question types, a custom delimiter for Table View item lists, and a JSON schema with properties metadata distributed in the npm package.

Starting with this release, matrix questions with checkboxes can include an exclusive column. When a user selects a checkbox in this column, all other checkboxes in the same row are automatically deselected. This is useful for options like "None", "Refuse to answer", or "Don't know".

To mark a column as exclusive, enable its isExclusive property:

{
  "elements": [
    {
      "type": "matrix",
      "name": "device-usage",
      "cellType": "checkbox",
      "title": "Which devices do you use for each of the following activities?",
      "columns": [
        { "value": "phone", "text": "Phone" },
        { "value": "tablet", "text": "Tablet" },
        { "value": "laptop", "text": "Laptop" },
        { "value": "smart-tv", "text": "Smart TV" },
        { "value": "none", "text": "None", "isExclusive": true }
      ],
      "rows": [
        { "value": "videos", "text": "Watching videos" },
        { "value": "news", "text": "Reading news" },
        { "value": "calls", "text": "Video calls" },
        { "value": "shopping", "text": "Online shopping" }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Survey Creator v2.3.7 introduces the onAllowInplaceEdit event. This allows you to disable direct text editing on the design surface for specific properties, which is useful when a rich text editor is integrated in the Property Grid, but the surface displays raw markup when users try to edit the properties on it.

The following code disables in-place editing for all "text" and "html" properties:

// ...
// Omitted: `SurveyCreatorModel` creation
// ...
creator.onAllowInplaceEdit.add((_, options) => {
  const prop = Serializer.findProperty(
    options.element.getType(),
    options.propertyName
  );
  if (prop.type == "text" || prop.type == "html") {
    options.allow = false;
  }
});

Dashboard visualizations now support specialized and composite question types. For example, consider the following composite question:

import { ComponentCollection } from "survey-core";

ComponentCollection.Instance.add({
  name: "workEnvironmentFeedback",
  title: "Work Environment & Wellbeing",
  defaultQuestionTitle: "Please provide feedback on your work environment and wellbeing",
  elementsJSON: [
    { type: "rating", name: "workstationComfort", title: "How comfortable is your workstation?", rateMin: 1, rateMax: 5 },
    { type: "dropdown", name: "equipmentQuality", title: "Which equipment needs improvement?", choices: ["Laptop", "Monitor", "Chair", "Keyboard"], showOtherItem: true, showNoneItem: true },
    { type: "radiogroup", name: "noiseLevel", title: "How would you describe the noise level in your work area?", choices: ["Quiet", "Moderate", "Noisy"] },
    { type: "rating", name: "workLifeBalance", title: "How do you rate your work-life balance?", rateMin: 1, rateMax: 5 },
    { type: "comment", name: "openFeedback", title: "Any additional feedback or suggestions?" }
  ]
});

Here's how this question is visualized in the Dashboard:

Table View now supports a custom itemsDelimiter property to change how item lists are displayed. For example, the following code uses a pipe | as a delimiter:

import { Model } from 'survey-core';
import { Tabulator } from 'survey-analytics/survey.analytics.tabulator';

const surveyJson = { /* Survey JSON schema */};
const survey = new Model(surveyJson);
const data = [ /* Survey responses */ ];

const tableView = new Tabulator(
  survey,
  data,
  {
    itemsDelimiter: " | "
  }
);

A JSON schema with properties metadata is now bundled with SurveyJS. This schema helps validate survey JSON structures and ensures that question and property definitions are consistent with the framework. You can use it in editors, linters, or automated testing workflows to detect configuration errors early.

Starting with v2.3.7, the schema is available both in the survey-core npm package and via CDN.
