Responses recored as 'aborted' in Pavlovia when they weren't

Has anyone seen this issue? When I test my Pavlovia survey in LIVE status, even when they data is completed, and the data is recorded and downloadable, the sessions tab records them as aborted rather than complete. I have tried not completing and aborting 1/2 was through and this doesnt show up at all - it just doesnt record the data (which is what I would expect). Is this a bug and is my data good or have I done something wrong and any participant responses I have are null and void?
Thanks so much - v. nervous Phd Student…

I think that that column matches the “isComplete” column in the data. Anyone who skips any questions will have a false in that column, but in general that isn’t an issue. Sometimes the skipped question could be one they weren’t even supposed to answer (based on other answers).

Whew! thanks so much :slight_smile:

Just to confirm then, I can ignore the aborted section if my data has been uploaded to the server as this means the participants all selected ‘Confirm’ at the end? (Just so my supervisors are happy I have clarified!)

Correct. Pavlovia Surveys is different from Qualtrics in this regard. You only get data from participants who don’t submit if you specifically ask:

You could need to use the 2024.3.0 survey link AND turn on “save on each page”.

Thats what I thought but many thanks for the confirmation. Have a good day (you’ve made mine!) :slight_smile:
