Add properties to the Question Schema about react-surveyman HOT 5 CLOSED

So, for freetext, I had the following rules:

• 0, 1, true, false == booleans
• text beginning with # is a regex (e.g. #{0-9*}, modelled after clojure's regex syntax)
• all other text is a string and simply appears as the default text.

The interpreter checks to see if the input matches "#{.*}". If it does, it strips out those tokens and creates a regex object and only allows the user to continue from their current point in the survey if they match the regex. Clearly here we don't need to worry about that -- I would say, if the user chooses to make the question freetext, expand that dialogue box to ask if they want to provide default text or a regex.

Regarding the options field: this used to be just a boolean. However, I wanted to get away from ids having semantic importance, since previously I used the option id in order to determine the original ordering of the options (for when their ordering matters). The array of ids stores the ordering explicitly. So, if a user toggles the button that says that ordering matters, just extract the ids of those options and store them in an array -- the user shouldn't be aware of what's going on at all.

Sounds good. I'll see how I can add this.

Isn't the order in the options array already indicative of the ordering? Currently, each question treats ordering just as a boolean property. Should I have array to depict the ordering?

Lastly what about answer and correlation. permitBreakoff is simple since it's just a boolean. What helptext should I add for permitBreakoff?

It could be; I don't make that guarantee going from csv->java->json, but
there is no reason why you couldn't.

permitBreakoff?

Don't worry about them. Answer is old, from when we were thinking about
rolling this in with some experimental setups. Also, we will eventually
deprecate manually setting breakoff -- this is something that should be
dynamically determined by the runtime.

Great - so I just need to allow users to provide a default text when they enable freetext, right?

default text, or give them the option of entering a regular
expression, yes.
