EM Enhancements

Notes about adding additional enhancements to the expression manager.

• Will changes break compatibility and thus bump major version?
• What's the priority?
• Who has time to implement it?

Write to token attributes from survey

Point of view : i really think it can be in plugin, in workaround. But are a specific issue. DenisChenu (talk) 18:09, 6 June 2017 (CEST)

Marcel: This is an often requested, missing feature. Very often user data gets loaded into the token table and there is a question like "Is this address/email/phone number up to date: 'XYZ'?". If the user corrects data there should be an option to directly update the token data from within the survey. This also allows exporting the updated token data and re-use it at upcoming surveys.

Make EM access earlier runs of same survey (waves)

TODO

Make default value better (expressions)

See : yesNo_defaultvalue_widget
