Model in a react app should be created as

var model = new Survey.Model(json);

But now this is impossible because of the "Model" name is not mentioned in typings.

As a workaround this can be used:

var model = new Survey["Model"](json);

See this thread for more details - https://github.com/surveyjs/surveyjs_react_quickstart/issues/19

min and max properties should have a different inputType in text property editor based on question.inputType. If question.inputType is date, then it should accept date values, if it is number then it should accept number values.

I change the default choices for itemvalues as below : var defaultChoices = [{value: 1,text: "Item 1"},{value: 2,text: "Item 2"},{value: 3,text: "Item 3"}]; creator.toolbox.getItemByName("radiogroup").json.choices = defaultChoices; creator.toolbox.getItemByName("checkbox").json.choices = defaultChoices; creator.toolbox.getItemByName("dropdown").json.choices = defaultChoices; If I create a new itemvalue it has the value 'item1'. I expect to have 4 as value.

We have scrollable area in choices property editor with buttons "Add" and "Remove All". We should scroll the table only.

Im migrating from survey version 1.0.83 to last one 1.7.7 the thing is there is something different with contains operator because on my survey { "pages": [ { "name": "page1", "elements": [ { "type": "text", "name": "qid1", "visibleIf": "[] contains 'C1'", "isRequired": true } ] } ] } This question was invisible on (1.0.83) and now on version 1.7.7, is visible when the array is empty

On creating new cell, when new row is not generated, requesting rowIndex from row can lead to stackoverflow.

If the service for loading data into dropdown/checkbox/radiogroup choices is slow, and it depends on a parameter(s) of other questions, then on changing a parameter during requesting the data, the end-user can see the data from old parameter. For example country/state. The user can change the country value several times and state can be loaded with different and sometimes incorrect items, if a user can change a country several time during the request into a server.

What is the current behavior?

a survey with goNextPageAutomatic =true will not show validation errors on value change/enter. The progress, bar updates, next page is not displayed, also no error displayed although validation fails.

Using enter here: notice question going green on enter

Many surveys/forms allow end-users to preview their answers before completing the survey/form. Right now, some of developers use display mode and second survey to create this functionality. We should have it out of the box: Instead of "Complete" button we show "Preview" button. When end-user press "Preview button", we will show all questions, or optionally only answered, in read-only mode on one page (every page converts into a panel with an "Edit" button"). End-user can go to edit mode again, by pressing "Edit" button on a panel to start editing survey again with a particular page or press "Edit" button on Navigation tab to start from the beginning. If an end-user satisfies with results, he/she will press "Complete" button.

New property: survey.showPreviewBeforeComplete: string, ["noPreview", "showAllQuestions", "showAnsweredQuestions"], "noPreview" is the default value. New methods: survey.showPreview(): boolean - go to preview mode, returns false if there is an error on the page. survey.cancelPreview() - go back to edit mode.

The example is here.

Im not 100% its a feature request or a question. Did not find this option in the docs, anyway.

Currently one can set the widths for defined columns in the matrix. But does not seem to be possible to set the desired width for the first column containing the sub-question text. I understand it can be done via css, but it should be able to define this per question. Some matrixes have longer texts in rows, and some free space can be allocated there from columns.

so as an example. Lets say I have this:

See the https://surveyjs.answerdesk.io/ticket/details/t3941/saving-save-icon-no-longer-displaying-in-v-1-7-3 thread for more details:

We have question property editor that set question name into property value. For some triggers properties, like setToName, we need to set the question.valueName if it is not empty and then question.name.

If question.valueName is not empty, then this value should be used in auto complete in the expression property editor.

Hi, Could you please help me to remove certain icons or whole set of icons when question is displayed in chart. Also, i noticed in pie chart and doughnut chart, on mouse hover the answers are displaying twice.

1. Go to https://surveyjs.io/Examples/Library?id=questiontype-boolean
2. ???
3. Boolean question's title has full width

But other questions's titles have half width

In the current JSON we do not have the correct way to set the correct width:

{
  elements: [
    {
       type: "text",
       name: "q1",
       width: "120px",
    },
    {
       type: "text",
       name: "q2",
       startWithNewLine: false,
       visibleIf: "{q1} notempty"
    },
    {
       type: "text",
       name: "q3",
       startWithNewLine: false
    }
  ]
}

Till v1.7.4, the width for DOM element corresponded to question "q2" and "q3" will be "33.333333%". It is not quite correct, because 120px is not another "33.333333%". The correct value is "calc((100% - 120px)/2)" when the q2 is visible and "calc(100% - 120px)". function "calc" supports for IE9+ and all modern browsers. We should use it to create a correct adaptive rendering.

We have to add this property into serialization and allow end-user to modify it from the property grid.

Survey title and description are cut on small screens:

The following code, to copy the value from the last row into a new one:

matrix.addRow();
if (matrix.rowCount < 2) return;
var value = matrix.getRowValue(matrix.rowCount - 2);
//copy value from the last row
matrix.setRowValue(matrix.rowCount - 1, value);

Complete trigger, by default, works when a user goes to the next page. In some scenarios, for example single page survey, it requries to run this trigger on value changed: Survey.settings.executeCompleteTriggerOnValueChanged = true;

To solve this issue we have added a new property into Survey.settings variable:

  /**
   * Set this property to true to execute the complete trigger on value change instead of on next page.
   */
  executeCompleteTriggerOnValueChanged: false

Users miss these two properties in checkbox column.

The following code doesn't work: survey.questionStartIndex = "Q1."; The expected value for the third question is: "Q3.", in the current version "3.".

Using css flexbox with layout degradation for old browsers.

If you render Survey multiple times without refresh the page, the memory consumption keep increasing when Survey is re-created.

I've reproduced the issue in Chrome also.

We'll introduce the dispose method for survey model. It should dispose all inner elements and subscriptions.

Currently the job of init() function does activatedByChanged() function. It is not obvious. There is a need with init() that comes without parameters, where developer can add new class, properties and so on.

It should be easy to set the displayName attribute for custom property, for example:

Survey.Serializer.addProperty("question", {name: "tag", displayName: "Custom Data", category: "general"});

Right now, it creates to add additional two lines of code to add a new key for tag with value "Custom Data" to the Survey Creator localization strings. The current API is not obvious and overcomplicated if there is a need to support just one locale/language in the Survey Creator.

When SuveyJS Creator user deletes the question, all expressions where this question is used should be updated. For example, on deleting "question1", visibleIf expression " < 10" should become empty and expression " < 10 and > 5" should become " > 5".

If the question that used in condition editor has a large description, then we show this description under "Please enter/select the value" title and it doesn't look good. There is no reason to show the question description here.

The origional issue came from SurveyJS Support desk

See T3910 - Issue- Question title editor is not working with default json. thread for more details - https://surveyjs.answerdesk.io/ticket/details/t3910/issue-question-title-editor-is-not-working-with-default-json

We have to hide edit/delete rules buttons in logic tab when creator is read only: creator.readOnly = true;

Since we included the image question into the core library we need to support it in PDF.

Helpers.isTwoValueEquals(undefined, "") returns false, where it has to return true. Returing true leads to this error, the input value assigned undefined from the model and in case of incorrected entered date, it clears the value, date in the linked bug, completely.

There is no easy way to disable adding/removing rows in matrix dynamic questions. It needs in scenarios when end-user can modify value cells only. Use these two properties. They are true by default.

survey.getProgress() for survey.progressBarType equals to "questions" includes "expression" and "html" questions, also they do not have an input area. The correct behavior is to exclude them from calculation. Here is the link on origional issue.

"textUpdateMode": "onTyping" prevents most placeHolders from showing

What is the current behavior?

With "textUpdateMode": "onTyping" specified almost all placeholders do not show. Some placeholders do still show, weirdly enough, for example the first placeholder in a dynamic matrix does show and the second and third placeholders show in a panel with 3 textfields, but most placeholders don't show at all.

What is the expected behavior?

With "textUpdateMode": "onTyping" the placeholders still need to show, just like with the default setting of textUpdateMode.

How would you reproduce the current behavior (if this is a bug)?

Create some fields with placeholders and add "textUpdateMode": "onTyping" to see the placeholders disappear.

The origional question came to SurveyJS support desk. The customer wants to limit the number of logic types showing on adding a new action or changing the existing one. Adding static SurveyCreator.SurveyLogic.visibleActions array should solve the issue. When this array not empty, then use actions that are in this array. For example:

  SurveyLogic.visibleActions = [
    "question_visibility",
    "question_require",
    "trigger_skip",
    "trigger_complete"
  ];

The following code makes available only four actions.

We are using "Action/Actions" in Logic tab UI, but in code we are using "Operation/Operations". It includes class names, functions, properties and localized strings. It confused other developers since we are not consistent here. Solution: change all "Operation" words in our API, including the private into "Action".

The origional issue came from SurveyJS help desk

The following code break the logo adorner rendering.

      var creatorOptions = {
        showLogicTab: true,
        readOnly: true
      };
      var creator = new SurveyCreator.SurveyCreator("editor", creatorOptions);

The origional suggestion came from SurveyJS support desk. A new option has been added, hideExpressionHeaderInLogicTab:

      var editorOptions = {
        hideExpressionHeaderInLogicTab: true, //hide the expression header
      };
      var creator = new SurveyCreator.SurveyCreator("editor", editorOptions);

The origional feature request came from SurveyJS support desk. To show these text, two localizable strings should be define:

SurveyCreator.defaultStrings.ed.lg.expressionSetup =
  "Logic Expression set-up";
SurveyCreator.defaultStrings.ed.lg.actionsSetup = "Action(s) set-up";

Two new CSS classes to control their styles: "svd-expression-setup" and "svd-logic-tab__actions-setup".

Now an object with the

      {
        elements: this._elements,
        changed: element,
      }

is passed in the event options:

  visibleElementsChanged(element: IVisualizerPanelElement) {
    if (!this.onVisibleElementsChanged.isEmpty) {
      this.onVisibleElementsChanged.fire(this, {
        elements: this._elements,
        changed: element,
      });
    }
    this.layout();
  }

Because triggers properties are not observable/react and trigger doesn't go to the root/survey to call survey.onPropertyValueChangedCallback callback, undo/redo mechanizm doesn't work for trigger content and auto saving doesn't work as well. On changing a trigger property survey will not change the state from "saved" to "unsaved"

Let our survey cloud set the rateStep value less than 1 for rating question.

The origional issue came on support desk.

To get French localization strings you can use the following code:

var frenchStrings = Survey.surveyLocalization.getLocaleStrings("fr");

To get the localization strings for the current selected locale:

var currentStrings = Survey.surveyLocalization.getCurrentStrings();

New logic item could not exists without at least one action. To be consistent with condition expression editor, do not remove the last item, but clear its properties.

The issue related to this issue: Why don’t my numbers, like 0.1 + 0.2 add up to a nice round 0.3, and instead I get a weird result like 0.30000000000000004?.

  }

Question shippingAddress becomes empty on setting shippingSameAsBusiness question to false.

Let's say you want to allow your end-users to select a country. The current solution is to modify a "dropdown" question with some preset and put it into toolbox. The current code is the following:

creator
    .toolbox
    .addItem({
        name: "countries",
        isCopied: true,
        iconName: "icon-default",
        title: "All countries",
        json: {
            "type": "dropdown",
            optionsCaption: "Select a country...",
            choicesByUrl: {
                url: "https://restcountries.eu/rest/v2/all"
            }
        }
    })

The code is taken from toolbox customization example. What if you need more and what to add some code behind this definition. And how to hide all unneeded properties, like choices, choicesByUrl and many others, from this question, that is actually still a dropdown question.

We want you to inroduce a way, where you can easily create a new question type: "country" and end-user will operate with this question even in JSON as: { type: "country", name: "myCountry"}. It should be in Toolbox, end-user can't modify or access properties that he doesn't need for a country question. You do not need to write a specific code for a survey to handle it's events when needed. It becomes a component model.

Please read more in this document.

See also composite custom question (where you can setup several questions at once) functionality.

Let's say your users often create a survey that contains information about their/your clients. It may include first/last names, address, phones, birthdate and so on. Commonly, end-user have to drop several questions, setup them and layout them on the page or panel. End-user can copy these questions from one survey to another. However, as soon as he copies these questions into another survey, he would have to support several versions of client information. If he decides to add/remove/change a question (for example phone), then it would require to change it in several surveys. Additionally, it is not an easy task for a non-technical person.

Composite question will solve this problem. It will allow to create, for our example, question type: "customerinformation" with all setup questions located in one panel. The value in the survey will be stored as: questionName: {firstName: ClientFirstName, lastName: CliertLastName, ...}. End-user could not access to internal questions. He could not customize them. You will be able to write the code and add properties to customize the question on high level: hide/show different questions, for example show/hide birthdate or address question(s).

What is the current behavior?

Currently we can select the html input type, but not set additional attributes. Attributes that only apply to the text input type however are always configurable, even when not relevant. For text we have maxlength, minlength and pattern amongst others. For date attributes that apply (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input/date#Additional_attributes) are: max, min and step.

What is the expected behavior?

There should be some way to specify these attributes (without coding for every possible combination).

Proposed solution 1

Add a key value property that allows us to specify custom input attributes for this question type.

Proposed solution 2

Create a custom question type for each html input type. This is the best solution, but also requires a lot more work.

Scenario: There is a need of combination of matrix (single choice) and matrices (multiple choices and dynamic). Instead of having a radiogroup or checkbox column, show several columns, where every button (radio or check) will be in a separate column. The related issue on SurveyJS Support Desk.

We introduced a showInMultipleColumns boolean property, it is false by default. For cellType equals to "checkbox" and "radiogroup", you can set it to true to show all visible choices into separate columns/cells.

Let's see the following json question:

{
  type: "matrixdropdown",
  name: "question1",
  columns: [
    {
      name: "col1",
      cellType: "dropdown",
      showInMultipleColumns: true,
      isRequired: true,
      choices: [
        "Strongly disagree",
        "Disagree",
        "Neutral",
        "Agree",
        "Strongly agree"
      ]
    },
    {
      name: "comment",
      title: "Please comment",
      cellType: "comment"
    }
  ],
  rows: [
    "Excited",
    "Enthusiastic",
    "Open",
    "Physically safe",
    "Emotionally safe",
    "Apprehensive",
    "Nervous",
    "Scared"
  ]
}

When you set showInMultipleColumns to true for the first column then column title is ignored and we get the following layout

As you see, we are getting cleaner UI.

To begin with, I would like to thank you for creating an excellent library!

So it’s my turn to add tags to the question.
The most suitable in my situation, I consider the "set" property editor.

But I have two questions:

1. How can I get choises from the backend?
   Unfortunately choicesCallback parameter is null instead of function in choises function callback. It also doesn't support promises as I understand. So can you propose some other way?

2. My backend return objects because I need to support localizations, but as I can see it supports only string values? Any suggestions?

A logic bug, or maybe I'm missing something

What is the current behavior?

I'm trying to build a one-question-per page questionnaire with 6-7 questions in total. To reuse an example of a solved issue, lets assume this scenario:

Question 1 is "Do you have a car?" with a boolean question yes/no. I want the form to continue to the next question via the setting "On answering all questions, go to the next page automatically". If people say no/false, there should be a follow-up boolean with "Do you want to buy one?" (on a new page or directly afterwards, doesn't matter where) which follows the logic "enable and visible if {car} = false". So far so good, but no matter where I click on the boolean item, its behaviour always goes to true first before I can switch it to false. In this scenario, you can only answer yes and proceed to the next question immediately without being able to answer no and get to see the other question, does that make sense?

What is the expected behavior?

If I click on the left side of the boolean button, it should go to the left/false and if I click on the right side, it should go to right/true.

How would you reproduce the current behavior (if this is a bug)?

As stated above.

When using a question of type matrixdropdown, the strings defined for the total of the column through totalFormat are shown in default locale only.

Are you requesting a feature, reporting a bug or asking a question?

Reporting bug

What is the current behavior?

When changing the language, totalFormat is not translated and is always set to the default language

What is the expected behavior?

When changing the language, totalFormat should be set to the string defined by the chosen language

How would you reproduce the current behavior (if this is a bug)?

Use the JSON definition below and test it with surveyJS v1.5.17, try to switch bewteen english, french and german and observe how the string of the total of the columns are not translated.

The following code doesn't work correctly. question is null, but it should not. questionByName function should convert to lowercase question name if caseInsensitive parameter is true.

  var survey = new SurveyModel({
    elements: [
      {
        type: "text",
        name: "Q1"
      }
    ]
  });
var question = survey.getQuestionByName("Q1", true);
//question should not be null

The issue

The following code, where matrix is QuestionMatrixDropdown doesn't re-render the table matrix.rows.push(new ItemValue("row2")); or matrix.rows.splice(0, 1)

The expected bevahior

It should re-render the table and add or remove a row.

Here is the scenario. The property defaultValueFromLastRow for matrix dynamic is set to true. Values from new added rows are copied from the preview row. However, there is a need to clear a value in a column. Here is the working example. The code in event is the following:

survey.onMatrixRowAdded.add(function(sender, options) {
    var rows = options.question.visibleRows;
    var addedRow = rows[rows.length - 1];
    addedRow.getQuestionByColumnName('subject').clearValue();
});

When it should be:

survey.onMatrixRowAdded.add(function(sender, options) {
    options.row.getQuestionByColumnName('subject').clearValue();
});

Until this moment in the "default" theme file question browser rendered native input "file" button. This didn't allow to localize the button caption.

See the https://surveyjs.answerdesk.io/ticket/details/t3677/localization-issue-for-file-control-in-file-type-question thread for more details.

We can improve it if use the markup from the modern theme.

See the https://surveyjs.answerdesk.io/ticket/details/t3688/accessibility-issue-aria-label-missing thread for more details.

SurveJS Creator used question.addConditionNames, but for many releases it uses question.addConditionObjectsByContext and question.addConditionNames is not needed and can be removed.

addConditionObjectsByContext should use question.getValueName() instead of question.name. SurveyJS Creator use this function in Condition Property Editor.

1. Go to https://surveyjs.io/create-survey/
2. Add matrix dynamic question
3. Change cell type
4. ???
5. Default value editor in Data tab not changes the type (also default value editor hasn't full width)

1. Go to https://surveyjs.io/create-survey
2. Add rating question
3. Check hasComment proerty
4. ???
5. Property has old design

GotoName selector (dropdown) is empty on editing logic item in logic tab.

Add an option to hide dropdown page selector Move the "Add new page" button closer to pages Implement dynamic scrolling

In order to hide dropdown page selector one need to set the following option:

  var options = {
    showDropdownPageSelector: false
  };
  var creator = new SurveyCreator.SurveyCreator("creatorElement", options);

The current UI confused end-user. They have to add an action first and then go upper and setup it. The better UI is to set the action first and then add it.

Default Value and Correct Value properties shows the survey inside, that can be out of date because end-user changed properties like choices, columns and rows. "Refresh" button allows to update the survey for choosing value to get the latest changes made by end-user.

Setup property editors on demands, when end-user opens/expand the tab.

Right now we do not update expressions on changing question.valueName property and update them on question.name property changing only. It is wrong. We have to:

1. Ignor changing question.name if question.valueName property is not empty
2. On changing valueName from empty to a value, rename expressions by replacing question.name with question.valueName
3. On changing valueName from one value to another, update expressions by replacing question.valueName from old value to new value.
4. On clearing valueName update expressions by replacing old value of question.valueName with question.name

We did not allow to change the rateValues property for rating column.

This is the second rewriting the way we are rendering question title and we hope it is the last one. Initially we were rendering question title using the template, survey.questionTitleTemplate. By default, it was: “. ”. So, the question title renders as: “1. What is your name?*”

It works perfectly. End-users can change the template in any way they want, for example to: “) ”, and result becomes: “1) * What is your Name?”.

Unfortunately, this approach does not allow to give different styles for numbering and require text. There are many requests of this. For example, to render a cycle around the number or render the required (*) text in red color. There was a work-around to do it, by using mark-down, but it was an overcomplicated solution.

As result we decided to start render question number, title and require texts separately. Additionally two news styles were introduced: . sv-question__num and . sv-question__required-text. Developer needs to override these styles to change question number and require text look. It works perfectly, unless the survey.questionTitleTemplate is not changed. If it is changed, then we are rendering them as one string. It needs when somebody needs require text in another position or want to have another symbol, instead of dot, in numbering, for example “(1)” or “# 1”, instead of “1.”.

New property We review many requests and come to conclusion that we can replace survey.questionTitleTemplate with a simple choice property. We introduced a new property survey.questionTitlePattern. There are four choices: numTitleRequire, “1. What is your name? ”, it is a default value numRequireTitle, “1. * What is your name?” requireNumTitle, “ 1. What is your name?” numTitle, “1. What is your name?”, do not show require text at all. You can change the title style to point end-users that the question is required.

Important survey.questionTitleTemplate becomes obsolete. It is loaded into survey model, but doesn’t serialized back. Survey Model on setting the property will try to convert the template into according questionTitlePattern proeprty. For example “ ) ” will change survey.questionTitlePattern into “requireNumTitle” value. Additionally, survey.questionStartIndex becomes “1)”.

Prefix and postfix for numbering Another change, survey.questionStartIndex has a prefix and postfix now. The default value is “1.”, where "1" tells that you want to start your question numbering from 1 and postfix is “.”. You can set it to “# 1)” or “(a)”. It is the alternative to questionTitleTemplate where you were able to have a prefix and postfix for numbering. We hope it solves all know issues and allows to introduce you what you require with minimum/zero coding.

We need to have an ability to add static images of different size to surveys. We need to implement an image question that allows to show given image, like below:

It should support the following attributes:

• image link
• image width
• image height

We need the option to hide this button:

  /**
   * The event is called before rendering a delete button in the Property Grid or in Question Editor.
   * <br/> sender the survey creator object that fires the event
   * <br/> options.obj the survey Question
   * <br/> options.item the object property (Survey.JsonObjectProperty object). It has name, className, type, visible, readOnly and other properties
   * <br/> options.canDelete a boolean value. It is true by default. Set it false to remove delete button from the Property Grid or in Question Editor
   */
  public onCanDeleteItem: Survey.Event<
    (sender: SurveyCreator, options: any) => any,
    any
  > = new Survey.Event<(sender: SurveyCreator, options: any) => any, any>();

This is a bad practice to address HTML elements in the re-usable library via IDs. This can cause issues of different kind - from accessibility to bugs.

See the https://surveyjs.answerdesk.io/ticket/details/t3645/accessibility-issue-for-duplicate-id thread for more details.

This event can be used to override the end-user notifications: instead of the default alert() function the option.message can be show via custom notification library

  /**
   * The event is called in case of UI notifications. By default all notifications are done via built-in alert () function.
   * In case of any subscriptions to this event all notifications will be redirected into the event handler.
   * <br/> options.message is a message to show.
   */
  public onNotify: Survey.Event<
    (sender: SurveyCreator, options: any) => any,
    any
  > = new Survey.Event<(sender: SurveyCreator, options: any) => any, any>();

When survey.textUpdateMode equals to "onBlue", default value, the comment question in react raise survey.onValueChanged event on typing a letter. It behaves always as survey.textUpdateMode equals to "onTyping".

Comment question should raise survey.onValueChanged event on loosing its focus when survey.textUpdateMode equals to "onBlue".

Right now to set a event to a DOM element requires to handle several events and write a different code, in case if you want to change the rendering, for example, for text input in Text Question, Multiple Text Question and in matrices (dropdown and dynamic). By introducing survey.onAfterRenderQuestionInput will allow to update DOM element for questions that uses as stanalone questions (text, dropdown and so on) and in composite questions: multiple text and matrices. Here is the example of suspending to type 'e' letter for number input.

survey.onAfterRenderQuestionInput.add(function(sender, options) {
  if (options.question.getType() === "text") {
    if (options.question.inputType === "number") {
      options.htmlElement.addEventListener("keypress", function(evt) {
        if (
          (evt.which != 8 &&
            evt.which != 0 &&
            evt.which != 46 &&
            evt.which < 48) ||
          evt.which > 57
        ) {
          evt.preventDefault();
        }
      });
    }
  }
});

Here is the survey JSON. It will apply for all input elements in this survey.

var json = {
  elements: [
    {
      type: "text",
      name: "q1",
      inputType: "number"
    },
    {
      type: "multipletext",
      name: "q2",
      items: [
        { name: "item1", inputType: "number" },
        { name: "item2", inputType: "number" }
      ]
    },
    {
      type: "matrixdynamic",
      name: "q3",
      rowCount: 2,
      columns: [
        {
          name: "col1",
          cellType: "text",
          inputType: "number"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
};

I'm reporting a bug

What is the current behavior?

At the default value, Boolean does not update to Yes unless I double click on it. This occurs in IE and Edge only. It works fine in Chrome and Firefox.

What is the expected behavior?

The switch should change to Yes after a click.

Can't move a question from panel to empty space under panel if panel is the only element on-page.

SurveyPDF now support rendering matrix columns with custom column width like in SurveyJS Library via this and this commits

Also removed excess space for left padding in expression question and fixed incorrect top padding for value in textbox-like questions

Modern theme should support theme customization similar the sample - https://surveyjs.io/Examples/Library?id=custom-theme&platform=jQuery&theme=modern

If you set

Survey.Serializer.findProperty("page", "title").isRequired = true;

property grid shows the error on the empty text but adorner allows to set an empty text.

The behavior should be consistent.

If the expression has only one condition then it is hard to clear the expression. We have to show the remove button even if there is only one condition in the expression.

The following code will add two properties into itemvalue and they will appear in the table for editing choices:

Survey.Serializer.addProperty("itemvalue", { name: "myImageLink" });
Survey.Serializer.addProperty("itemvalue", { name: "tag:number" });

It will be nice to have the column header text as: "My Image Link" and "Tag", without setting the localization text.

If visibleIf property has the following value: visibleIf: "{question1} = ['item1', 'item3']", then Condition Property Editor fails to show it in visual builder and allow to edit the expression in text editor. It is not correct, we have to show checkbox with preset values.
