What is the current behavior?

when I use "keepIncorrectValues": true for a dropdown question and I run survey.clearIncorrectValues(); the value (that is not present in the choices array) is cleared

What is the expected behavior?

I would expect not as I am saying to keep it

@masciugo You may have an issue in Survey Creator. I believe the following code will remove the issue:

      onGetValue: function (obj) {
        return obj.myCustomProp || obj.getPropertyValue("keepIncorrectValues", false);
      }

If the defualt value in “getPropertyValue” is undefined, it will try to get the value from your property definition. If you set it to false you should be safe.

Thank you, Andrew

@masciugo survey.keepIncorrectValues property is not serializable. You have to set it in the code: survey.keepIncorrectValues = true; The reason we make it non-serializable, because a developer should decide should a survey/form keeps incorrect values or not. A Creator user should not think about it.

Thank you, Andrew
