AI Summary 
Starting from IdSurvey 8, some syntaxes have been optimized for greater consistency with function names and to eliminate ambiguities caused by case-sensitivity. In fact, from IdSurvey 8 onwards, IdCode does not distinguish between uppercase and lowercase letters anymore.
All questionnaires are automatically converted when the platforms are updated to IdSurvey 8.
Overview #
| IdSurvey 7 | IdSurvey 8 | Notes | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Skip condition (in answer options) | /C "goto(Q5)" | /Skip "goto(Q5)" | If you use the old syntax, it will be interpreted and replaced automatically. |
| Maximum and minimum selectable answers | /MM 3 /Mm 2 | /Mmax 3 /Mmin 2 | |
| Exclusive answer | ->m | ->E | Warning! If you use the old syntax, this will be interpreted as a multiple answer! As for all other functions, IdSurvey 8 is no longer case sensitive, so the multiple answer can be written as ->M or ->m. |
| Optional answer | /RQ 0 | ->/Optional 1 | If you use the old syntax, it will be interpreted and replaced automatically. |
Notes
- If you want to use a questionnaire from another platform with a previous version of IdSurvey or in an external file, you can convert it with “Import IdCode from previous versions” that you can find in the question management page when the section is empty.
