Released: August 22, 2023

Survey Now v1.9.104 adds CodePen support in demos and introduces APIs to specify an error message location for individual questions, render custom dialogs asynchronously, and remove individual toolbar items for visualizers in Dashboard.

Survey Now Form Library v1.9.104 introduces several new APIs that allows you to set an error message location for individual questions. Previously, you could specify a survey-wide questionErrorLocation property. The new release adds similar properties for individual pages and panels:

• PageModel.questionErrorLocation
• PanelModel.questionErrorLocation

You can also use the following new properties to specify an error message location for any individual question and for questions within matrix cells, detail sections, and other elements:

• Question.errorLocation
• QuestionMultipleTextModel.itemErrorLocation
• QuestionMatrixDropdownModel.cellErrorLocation
• QuestionMatrixDropdownModel.detailErrorLocation
• QuestionMatrixDynamicModel.cellErrorLocation
• QuestionMatrixDynamicModel.detailErrorLocation
• QuestionPanelDynamicModel.templateErrorLocation

Note that lower-level properties override those on the higher levels. For example, the itemErrorLocation property value is inherited as follows: SurveyModel.questionErrorLocation → PageModel.questionErrorLocation → PanelModel.questionErrorLocation → QuestionMultipleTextModel.errorLocation → QuestionMultipleTextModel.itemErrorLocation.

Survey Now Form Library uses a standard browser dialog window to display confirmation messages. If you want to use a custom dialog window, you can implement the settings.confirmActionFunc function. However, this function does not support asynchronous mode. The new release introduces the settings.confirmActionAsync function that can work with asynchronous functions. For example, the following code shows how to call the browser dialog window in asynchronous mode:

import { settings } from "survey-core";

async function confirmDialog (message) {
  return window.confirm(message);
}

settings.confirmActionAsync = (message, callback) => {
  confirmDialog(message)
    .then(result => {
      callback(result);
    });
  
  return true; // Should return `true` to be activated
};

Survey Now Dashboard v1.9.104 adds a new unregisterToolbarItem method that allows you to remove a toolbar item for individual visualizers. This method accepts a visualizer name and returns a function used to create the removed toolbar item:

import { VisualizationPanel } from "survey-analytics";

const vizPanel = new VisualizationPanel( ... );

vizPanel.visualizers[0].unregisterToolbarItem("my-toolbar-item");

In addition to Plunker and CodeSandbox, Survey Now demos now support the CodePen online code editor. To start editing a demo code example in CodePen, open any demo, hover the mouse pointer over the CodePen toolbar item, and select a required JavaScript framework from the drop-down list:
