Ok - well it's good to know one aspect of this has been recognised!

No, we didn't think so either - it would probably help if the groups (previously assigned) were pre-selected when you get back to the "assign survey to respondents" step. Perhaps this is a quick(ish) patch to stick on...?

Wow! I'm surprised - although I suppose it depends on your level of use - we typically have over 250 surveys across a 30-day period.
Come to think of it, I'm surprised we don't hit this more often =P

Worth raising a JIRA? WDYT?
