Released: April 8, 2025

SurveyJS v2.0.4 introduces AI integration demos, implements a capability to align input fields within a Dynamic Panel, and enhances the UI for toolbox categories in Survey Creator and for surveys with a header and Table of Contents.

AI Integration Demos

AI-based services are used in many fields and industries, from healthcare and finance to education, entertainment, and manufacturing. They help increase efficiency by analyzing large amounts of data and automating complex tasks. In this release, we introduce three new demos that show how you can integrate AI-powered functionalities into Survey Creator to make the survey configuration process faster:

Survey Creator: Enhanced UI for Toolbox Categories

Toolbox categories are used to arrange toolbox items in logical groups. With default toolbox configuration, categories are only separated one from another by horizontal lines, but they can display titles instead. This category view with titles is enhanced in Survey Creator v2.0.4.

Survey Creator: Toolbox categories

To show category titles in the toolbox, enable the showCategoryTitles property as shown below:

import { SurveyCreatorModel } from "survey-creator-core";
const creatorOptions = { ... };
const creator = new SurveyCreatorModel(creatorOptions);

creator.toolbox.showCategoryTitles = true;

Enhanced UI for Surveys with a Header and Table of Contents

Since SurveyJS Form Library v2.0.4, the position of the survey header relative to the Table of Contents (TOC) depends on whether the header has a background color or image. Without a background, the header appears beside the TOC, and the TOC spans the full height of the survey:

With a background color or image, the survey header stretches across the full width of the survey, including the area occupied by the TOC:

Dynamic Panel: Align Nested Input Fields

This release introduces a new templateQuestionTitleWidth property in the Dynamic Panel API. Use it to specify a consistent width for all question titles within a Dynamic Panel. Aligning the title widths also aligns the input fields, creating a cleaner and more organized UI.
