SurveyJS v2.5.15
Released: March 11, 2026
SurveyJS v2.5.15 introduces new API settings for customizing expression syntax and adds support in Survey Creator for preserving incorrect property values so users can correct them later. Bug fixes and minor enhancements are included as well.
API to Customize Expression Syntax
This release introduces two global settings that allow you to customize parts of the expression syntax.
expressionVariableDelimiters
expressionVariableDelimiters specifies delimiters used to reference variables in expressions and dynamic texts. It accepts an object with start and end string properties.
By default, SurveyJS uses curly braces ({ and }). You can replace them with other symbols or symbol sequences:
import { settings } from "survey-core";
// {{variableName}}
settings.expressionVariableDelimiters = { start: "{{", end: "}}" };
// {% variableName %}
settings.expressionVariableDelimiters = { start: "{% ", end: " %}" };
// %variableName%
settings.expressionVariableDelimiters = { start: "%", end: "%" };
expressionElementPropertyPrefix
The recently introduced capability to access element property values within expressions and dynamic texts uses the dollar sign ($) as the default prefix. The expressionElementPropertyPrefix setting allows you to change this prefix or disable the feature entirely:
import { settings } from "survey-core";
// Use @ to access element property values
settings.expressionElementPropertyPrefix = "@";
// Disable accessing element property values within expressions
settings.expressionElementPropertyPrefix = "";
[Survey Creator] Property Editors Preserve Invalid Values for Later Correction
Previously, property editors cleared property values if they were invalid. This behavior could disrupt the workflow when users intended to fix the value later.
Starting with Survey Creator v2.5.15, invalid values are preserved instead of being removed. Users can continue working in the Property Grid and return to correct the value later. Invalid values are stored in temporary storage and are not included in the survey JSON schema until they are corrected.
