Formbricks bug made 'doesNotEqual' always true for single-select

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

An open-source survey platform, Formbricks, had a bug where the 'doesNotEqual' condition always returned true for single-choice questions due to inconsistent array handling. The fix ensures the operator correctly negates 'equals' by properly comparing single-element arrays. The issue was reported and resolved in the client-side survey runner logic.
