SurveyJS v2.5.2

Released: December 23, 2025

SurveyJS v2.5.2 introduces enhancements to JSON validation in Survey Creator and includes several fixes and internal refinements.

[Survey Creator] Property Value Validation in JSON Editor Tab

In Survey Creator, the JSON Editor tab allows survey designers to edit the survey JSON schema directly. Previously, validation checked only whether a property existed, allowing unsupported values. Starting with Survey Creator v2.5.2, validation also verifies that assigned values are valid for the target property, helping detect configuration issues earlier and prevent invalid survey definitions.

After upgrading to v2.5.2, some existing survey JSON schemas may be reported as invalid if they contain unsupported property values. We recommend correcting these issues to ensure consistent and predictable survey behavior. However, if you prefer not to enforce this validation, you can disable it using the validateJsonPropertyValues property. In this case, survey designers will still be able to assign invalid values in the JSON Editor tab.

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

const creatorOptions = {
  validateJsonPropertyValues: false
};

const creator = new SurveyCreatorModel(creatorOptions);
