[phpesp-general] Problem with Rate item and Save

[Neil P. <ne...@uw...>]

Hello,
   A researcher has identified an anomaly in a Rate item where the 
respondent makes choices, Saves the survey, returns to complete the survey 
and discovers their previous selections have been altered. To recreate the 
problem:

1. Create a survey with one question, a Rate item. Select a Length of 3 (3 
columns or choices) and select Precision of 1 to get N/A as a fourth column. 
Enter 5 answer lines.

2. Change the access to Private. In the Survey Access page select the survey 
and add a group with the Save/Restore option selected. Add a respondent.

3. Activate the survey and prepare to enter responses. Fill in the survey by 
selecting columns (rates) 1, 2 and 3. Select Save. Select Resume Survey.

In release 1.6 the returned survey has rate 1 redefined as N/A. In release 
1.7 all three choices are now set to 2. In both cases the original choices 
are altered.
