This release introduces several new features, improvements, changes, and bug fixes.
For more details, see the Release Notes.
Auto-Delete of Inactive Surveys
EUSurvey will now automatically delete surveys inactive for 365 days (no new responses) to improve system performance and comply with GDPR/EUDPR data protection rules. Before deletion, survey owners and privileged users (e.g., Form Managers) will receive three email alerts (60, 45, and 3 days prior). To keep your survey:
o Export responses (as .XLSX),
o Save the survey template (as .EUS), or
o Update the survey to reset inactivity.
New Feature: eVote Procedure for EEAS electoral process
A new eVote procedure has been implemented to support the European External Action Service (EEAS) electoral process. This functionality will be activated exclusively on the dedicated eVoting environment and will not affect other EUSurvey instances.
New Predefined "EU Member State" Question (Multiple-Choice)
EUSurvey now includes a predefined multiple-choice (MCQ) question type for EU Member States, complementing the existing single-choice (SCQ) option. This new feature allows respondents to select multiple EU countries from a standardised list, ensuring consistency and reducing manual setup time. Ideal for surveys requiring multi�country responses (e.g., cross-border projects, policy feedback, or regional analysis).
Standard QR codes for survey URLs
Survey links now include automatically generated QR codes for each available language, making it easier for respondents to access surveys via mobile devices. The survey URL and its corresponding QR code are displayed together in the Overview page. This feature is particularly useful for in-person events, printed materials, or quick mobile access, while keeping all existing sharing options available.
Prefill Web Call improvement
The Prefill API now allows re-executing calls on existing drafts without losing participant data. When a prefill call is repeated with the same parameters, the system retains the current draft and only updates the fields specified in the new call. Any additional answers the participant has entered since the last prefill remain unchanged.
This makes it easier to correct or update prefilled values while preserving manually entered responses. No changes to the existing API are needed.
Standardised Export Format Order
The order of export formats (ODS, XML, XLSX) has been aligned across EUSurvey to match the sequence shown on the Results page. This ensures consistency when downloading survey data, making it easier to locate your preferred format. No changes to functionality—just a more intuitive experience.
Up/Down Arrows for SCQ and MCQ Answers
Up and down arrows are now enabled in Single-Choice and Multiple-Choice questions, allowing users to reorder answers. Moving an answer automatically adjusts the order of the other options.
Improved Draft-Saving
We have enhanced the draft-saving feature for multi-section surveys. Previously, saving a draft would store answers but always reopened the survey at the final section, risking missed questions. Now, when respondents save and resume a draft, they will return to the exact section/page they were last working on, making it easier to complete surveys without
losing progress.
Enhanced Mandatory Rules for Complex Tables
Complex Table (CT) questions now offer simpler, more powerful mandatory response controls. With one click, you can:
o Make an entire table mandatory, ensuring all cells require input.
o Apply mandatory rules to full rows or columns
No longer need to adjust each cell individually.
Predefined Lists in Complex Tables
Complex Tables now support predefined dropdown lists (e.g., EU member states) as a cell type. Simply select a standardised list when configuring your table ; no manual entry needed.
New guidance on Regular Expressions (Regex) is now available in our Support Pages.
This explains what regex is, a sequence of characters used to define search patterns, and how it helps validate survey responses in EUSurvey. The guide also provides instructions on applying regex to control user input effectively.
Security Enhancements
Several security improvements have been implemented to ensure enhanced protection.
Bug Fixes
Bugs reported in previous versions have been addressed and resolved as part of this release.
