Patricia Stelling contributed to the LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey repository by building and refining core survey management features over eight months. She developed modal-based interfaces for survey import and copying, streamlined survey creation flows, and enhanced user onboarding with empty-state UX improvements. Her technical approach emphasized maintainability and clarity, introducing service classes and constants to centralize logic and reduce duplication. Patricia worked extensively with PHP, JavaScript, and SCSS, applying both backend and frontend development skills. She also addressed reliability by fixing cache and data integrity issues in survey duplication, demonstrating a thorough, iterative engineering process focused on usability and robust workflow integration.

February 2026: Bug fix and reliability improvements for the LimeSurvey survey duplication feature. Resolved cache-related lastmodified handling in copied surveys and ensured additional participant attributes (descriptions and captions) are copied to the new survey instance, improving data integrity and user experience when duplicating surveys.

January 2026 – LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey: Delivered a comprehensive Survey Copying Feature that enables users to duplicate an existing survey with configurable options, preserving questions, groups, settings, and associated resources while facilitating permission management. The feature supports adaptable resource links and simplifies reuse of survey templates, reducing manual recreation time and improving consistency across surveys. This work is captured in commit f0d243a8bf9fe5d4f770e4f0af2659ed55e37241 (Dev #1560 copy survey modal process). No major bugs were reported this month.
