Questionnaire Hidden Variable Data Loss
What This Skill Diagnoses
Integration-sourced questionnaire variable data is wiped when a contract's questionnaire is edited in SpotDraft, if the associated question items are hidden behind an always-false visibility condition (e.g., sd_show = false). The initial data push from the integration bypasses visibility checks, but any subsequent questionnaire edit triggers a re-evaluation that clears values for hidden questions.
March 4–17, 2026 regression: A platform change deployed on March 4 (for BIC) that stopped persisting questionnaire responses for hidden questions made this behavior systemic. It broke an existing Legal Ops workaround used across 15+ customer workspaces. Fix deployed March 17 via feature flag. Contracts created March 4–17 on affected workflows may have missing field values — there is no backfill path.
