Please make this survey prompt go away

I’ve been seeing this survey prompt on my dashboard since 2023. I think I briefly started the survey but I don’t want to complete it. (They’re so long!) How can I make the prompt go away?

My very favorite thing about this post is it’s been bothering @ParkRanger for two years and the solution is to click an X. I see you @ParkRanger.

Not THAT one, THIS one.

Oh. Huh

Ask @len to see if someone can kill that process?

I’ve had one for years, too. LOL.

I was hoping I wouldn’t have to summon the top dog, but it may have come to that.

@len?

I mean it’s been over 2 years and it’s still bugging you. Can’t hurt to ask. They maybe don’t know there’s a problem with deleting something you’ve started so you might be helping!

Ok. Let me ask someone. Two years, eh?

To be fair, only 1 year, 4 months, and 18 days.

Thank you!

I bet if you hadn’t started it, it would have gone away. :people_hugging:

Oh for sure. I’ve ignored plenty of TP surveys since then; this is the only one that won’t let me go. :laughing:

I’ve thought about doing the minimum necessary on each page to proceed through the survey and submit it, but I don’t want to junk up Len’s data pool. :roll_eyes:

Maybe TP should offer a choice of doing a (much!) shorter survey. The standard one took me a LONG time to complete, the last time I did the whole thing.

That’s a good gif.

Yeah the current one is way too long.

I have 2 :smiling_imp:
Although TBH, I did finish 1- I know I did.

I’ve got 2 “unfinished surveys” from my trip earlier this month. I actually did one all the way through, but I clicked on the other survey links from the red boxes, thinking that they would be different surveys, but when I saw it was just a different link to the same one, I didn’t do anything. Going to the first page of a survey and not filling in anything shouldn’t get a permanent pestering to finish the survey.

The system should make it difficult to create a new survey if you’ve got one in progress for the same place. Even if I click the button to start a new survey on WDW, if I’ve got one that’s in progress for WDW, I should get a prompt asking me “don’t you want to finish this other one?”

At some point, incomplete surveys should just get auto-deleted, because the associated trip is too old to be useful. I never did a survey on my 2017 trip, but I don’t think much of anything that I would report about that trip now would be particularly useful to someone planning a trip today.

Still there.

I’ve asked Brad (our dev who worked on surveys most recently) to figure out how to delete unfinished surveys > 30 days old.

@ParkRanger I can’t figure out how to delete that survey - I think it’s in some weird inconsistent state. I’ll ask Brad to take a look at that as well. Sorry about that.

Like Florida?

No problem, it’s a tiny, tiny thing. (But even tiny things can be annoying!) Thanks for looking into it!
