Questions cannot be reformatted from Radio to Checkbox, etc about rapidfire HOT 11 CLOSED

yes, changing type of question is not supported atm.
https://github.com/code-mancers/rapidfire/blob/master/app/services/rapidfire/question_form.rb#L55
reason being: we are using STI, and its kindof tricky to morph one question type to another.
its cheap to delete and recreate questions. are you facing problems with delete + recreate?

from rapidfire.

It might be worth auto deleting/recreating in this case, assuming the question has no chidren/answers

from rapidfire.

oh no. answers are associated with questions via question_id: https://github.com/code-mancers/rapidfire/blob/master/db/migrate/20130502195504_create_rapidfire_answers.rb#L5. if lib delete/recreate, then there will be problems with associating answers, and calculating survey results.

What I mean is if question.answers = [ ] then you can safely delete the question and recreate as a checkbox, etc

from rapidfire.

hmm, interesting, and what if answers are not blank?

from rapidfire.

Then error = "Sorry you cannot change the format of a question with associated answers"

from rapidfire.

okie, sounds good.

from rapidfire.

It's a minor issue, but even if you just provide an error message (and don't allow changing question types at all), it might help other people. I was confused about them not changing

from rapidfire.

By the way, is there anyway to edit a survey once it is submitted?

from rapidfire.

yes, but unfortunately that code is not yet merged into master:
