Multi-answer matrix question drops out #1

Open soubhikbarari opened 1 year ago

soubhikbarari commented 1 year ago

If a particular column in a multi-answer matrix question is never selected, it drops out of the dataset returned by parse_survey() altogether.

Can either fix this in process_matrix() or in the fetch_survey_obj() stage (probably less work for current release to do the former).

Hey @soubhikbarari I work for a small nonprofit and we have been using this package to handle some surveys we run (young adult surveys in a couple of states). We used surveymonkey:: for a while and recently switched to your svmkr::

We are encountering this issue lately, where some columns are being dropped for options that are not selected. Have you by change found a solution?

Thank you!

Hey @OskaratOmni , this package is unfortunately not actively being maintained - the original authors/contributors have since moved on to other work (or companies). I have not found a solution for this unfortunately, but as the issue says, the patch would likely need to be applied within process_matrix(). Sorry I don't have a better answer at the moment!

Thanks for letting me know @soubhikbarari, I appreciate the quick response. Hopefully someone picks this up again some day.
