Option to select file format when downloading responses

Dear Pavlovia Survey Developers,

Is it possible to download all responses as a single JSON file? When clicking the ‘download responses’ button in the responses tab of a survey, the file format is .csv. We have had some issues loading this .csv file into Excel, and in the end I resorted to writing a JSON parser in Python. However, this approach required that I copy-paste all the individual JSON responses from each row in the participants table, which becomes somewhat prohibitive when there are a lot of participants. Having the option to download all the JSON data simultaneously would be convenient in this case.

Do you have any file upload questions? I’ve experienced something like this with larger CSV files.

I do not have file upload questions :slight_smile: I was only wondering if one could choose to specify the format in which all the responses can be downloaded.

In my case the issues occurred for relatively small csv files (~ 16 participants), and I think it might be related to users providing text input and using uncommon characters.

Interesting. Please could you PM me an example csv file and I’ll raise an issue about it?
