chain simple forms / surveys into longer runs using the power of R to generate pretty feedback and complex designs https://formr.org

[v0.22.0] - 18.12.2024

This is a bigger release than we've had in a while. Several smaller errors have been fixed. There have also been some small changes to the admin-facing interface. We also finally updated the documentation to reflect more of formr's feature set. The most major additional work relates to managing an instance, so now several requirements (such as having a privacy policy or a terms of service for a study) can be set.

Fixed

• superadmin OpenCPU timing graph
• bug where (backup) server-side errors for invalid items weren't displayed
• issues with file uploads in the survey where error messages were not displayed, could be cryptic
• maxlength for textarea items was not respected
• fixed an issue where a minimum of 0 for number-type inputs was not respected

Changed

• when you upload a survey from a Google spreadsheet, the name of a survey is now automatically read from the spreadsheet file. The name set in formr has to match the Google spreadsheet name to ensure consistency
• documentation has been updated for item types, on how formr auto-enriches data in R code etc. In addition, documentation is available in more places.

Added

• compliance work
  • added special user-facing static pages for privacy policy and terms of service
  • added an option to require that a privacy policy exists before studies go public
  • improved default footer text/imprint to include admin email address, links to privacy policy, ToS, settings, make referral tokens optional
  • added setting for extended agreements to conditions when uploading files in runs
• audio type items, including record_audio class for a recorder button
• video type items
• the submit button item now allows for negative "timeouts" — i.e. the user has to wait until they can submit
