How to set fast entry as default entry method for choice type question

Thanks Dmitry,
Can you know me when will i get the update?

We think the update will be available in this week.
We'd like to include in this update SurveyJS Editor page management UI improvements and we need some time to complete it.
If this issue is time-critical for you, we can release as update in a couple of days.
Please let us know.

Thanks, Serge

Hello Serge,

I think you released this changes, i updated the version of SurveyJS,
and also integrate your code, but still i am not able to get thease done.

Thanks,
Eric

Hello Eric,

We had not released last week. That's why you are not able to use it for a while.
Most likely we'll release an update tomorrow.

Hi Serge,

Is these change are released, please inform me if not released yet,
Also i can not update the version for SurveyJS because some ui change in new release is making cause in out system,
i want to use old ui as version 1.0.14, can you give me the idea to get the new update with UI design of 1.0.14 version.

Thanks,
Eric

Hello Eric,

Hi Andrew,

What we have to to for below problem.

I can not update the version for SurveyJS because some ui change in new release is making cause in out system,
i want to use old ui as version 1.0.14, can you give me the idea to get the new update with UI design of 1.0.14 version.

Thanks,
Eric

Hi Eric,

As far as I remeber we just changes pages editor and probably some inplace editors.
UI design for these modifications can not be separated from editor's code.
I'm afraid we are not able to do exactly what you are asking.
But we do want to help you.
Could you tell us - what's wrong with 1.0.16 UI?
Probably we can give you an option or other workaround. Or find another suitable solution.

Thanks, Serge

Hello Eric,
As Serge wrote, it is better to use the latest version. We will do our best to implement the behavior you need.

However, please take into account - the current UI has a better usability based on our tests.
SurveyJS Editor users, especially non-technical people, are able to make surveys, asking way less questions "what should I do to…". They do not stuck on creating a new page or renaming a title and so on.
There are still a lot of room for improvements, but the page editor redesign and inplace editing do not raise questions now.

Thank you,

Hi Andrew,

There is two things currently making problem when i update to latest version of surveyjs

1. we can not use in-place editor, because of we implemented our api calls on question editor save button click,
2. after update the version i could not found the option for convert to, delete, or edit button on question
   • this is may be due to i written one line in code as below, but not sure.

JavaScript
SurveyEditor.removeAdorners();

I did not test further for other problem, because of that time we was in production deployment stage.

Thanks,
Eric

Hello Eric,
So current design would be fine, if you have only "Edit" and "Delete" buttons as addons. Is it correct?

Thank you,
Andrew

Hello Eric,

I've prepared a plunker sample for you - how to hide all adorners except Edit and Delete
https://plnkr.co/edit/5Pe2UYjupfnbXvX62BHg?p=preview
Is it suitable for you?

Thanks, Serge

Hi Serge,

I have implemented your solution, and it is working fine, but have one problem with this
i want to disable in-place editor for question,
but after remove below line it becomes enabled.

JavaScript
SurveyEditor.removeAdorners();

And if i add this line in code, all other features like edit, delete etc are become invisible.

Also lets move to original question for this ticket.
I added code, which you provided me, but it removes fast entry method tab from editor,
I think you misunderstood my requirement for this, i want to set fast entry method as default method also need form entry as well,
but when i open editor it should show fast entry method as default entry method.

Thanks,
Eric

Hello Eric,

In my previous answer i gave a link to a plunker sample (https://plnkr.co/edit/5Pe2UYjupfnbXvX62BHg?p=preview)..) It contains all necessary code to leave 'edit' and 'delete' functionality only:

JavaScript
SurveyEditor.removeAdorners(["controlLabel", "item", "title", "label", "itemText", "itemTitle"]);
var editorOptions = {};
var editor = new SurveyEditor.SurveyEditor("editorElement", editorOptions);
editor.onElementAllowOperations.add(function(editor, options) {
  options.allowShowHideTitle = false;
  options.allowChangeRequired = false;
  options.allowCopy = false;
  options.allowAddToToolbox = false;
  options.allowChangeType = false;
});

You needn't write SurveyEditor.removeAdorners(); now.

Many Thanks Searge,
Now it is working,

But still i need solution for Set Fast Entry Form as default Entry method,
Can you give me solution for this?
I have already described problem which i am facing in last comment.

Hello Eric,

Sure. Dmitry wrote to you on march, 19:

Hello! We've added the **itemsEntryType ** setting to the property editor options. Please check the code:

JavaScript
editor.onSetPropertyEditorOptions.add(function(sender, options) {
  options.editorOptions.itemsEntryType = "form";
});

Have you tried this code?

Thanks, Serge
SurveyJS Team

Yes, i have added this code, but it removes fast entry method tab from editor,
I want to set fast entry method as default method also need form entry as well,
but when i open editor it should show fast entry method as default entry method.

Thanks,
Eric

I'm sorry, Eric

It should be written "fast" here:

JavaScript
editor.onSetPropertyEditorOptions.add(function(sender, options) {
  options.editorOptions.itemsEntryType = "fast";
});

This is working sample - https://plnkr.co/edit/88E779KQoPbPZI4SPDvN?p=preview

Hi Serge,

I already used "fast" in my code,
I have diffrent problem, you can see screenshot after applied the code which you provide me

this code remove both of the tab from editor,
i want both tab there, just want to set fast entry tab as default selected there, like below image

Thanks,
Eric

Hello Eric,

Can you check the plunker link from my previous sample - https://plnkr.co/edit/88E779KQoPbPZI4SPDvN?p=preview
and tell me whether it implements correct behaviour you wanted to get?

If my sample (https://plnkr.co/edit/88E779KQoPbPZI4SPDvN?p=preview)) works ok for you but your code doesn't work ok we need to find out what causes this behaviour.

The itemsEntryType shouldn't affect the "Form Entry" option. And if it does I should find why.
I need to reproduce the issue on our side. What version of SurveyJS Editor are you using? What another environment (settings, event handlers, etc) can affect this?
