Known Issues

1. Survey bug with metric questions and an upper limit of ∞

When a metric question with an upper limit of ∞ was added to a survey in ILIAS versions < 3.6.3 and the survey is executed in ILIAS 3.6.3, ILIAS does not accept any user input. It always complains that the value is not between the minimum and the maximum value.

To fix this bug, make a backup copy of the file survey/classes/class.ilSurveyExecutionGUI.php, then copy the attached file class.ilSurveyExecutionGUI.php into the survey/classes/ directory.

To prevent problems with the editing of questions from a survey, I also removed the tabs of the containing question pool when editing the survey and changed the subtabs of the question properties to be real tabs. I also added a backlink to the calling survey (Helmut Schottmüller, 2006-05-18)
