It's impossible to change the default value of the ChoicesRestful.path property

What is the current behavior?

In the following plunk I was able to customize allowEmptyResponse property defaultValue (as you can see I do not get any error in q1). But I was not able to do the same for the path property (q2 should return an empty list)

Hello @masciugo,
From what I gather, you wish to programmatically specify the default value for the ChoicesRestful.path property.
However, the following code doesn't work:

Survey.Serializer.getProperty("choicesByUrl", "path").defaultValue = "list"

With the defaultValue set to list, you expect the second question to display an empty list of items, as if the list value is specified at the level of the choicesByUrl setting:

We will research this issue and update you shortly.

Thanks

Hi guys. I tried but it does not seems fixed to me

https://codesandbox.io/s/great-solomon-yvnwvc?file=/src/SurveyComponent.jsx

q2 should not provide any choices as 'list' path does not exists in the service response

(I switched to codesandbox because plunker seems not very responsive)

@masciugo I found the reason. We did not clear properties correctly. I have added unit test and fix it. Here is the PR. We will include the fix into the version we will release next week.

Thank you,
Andrew
