Bug in action rules order of execution

I discovered that when using a survey redirect amongst other action rules that the action evaluated as true that was closest to the bottom of the list was not the one executed as the rules state it should be.  In my example, the first action on the list was to terminate a respondent and redirect them to my panel provider's termination page.  All action rules below that one were to skip the respondent to the next page provided they answered a valid combination of answers.  The idea was that if qualified, they would execute one of the skips and continue on with the survey, but the order of execution was not followed when using the redirect (even though it worked fine when using the terminate option before I changed it to a redirect).  My workaround solution was to change the redirect to a skip to a termination page and placing the redirect action as the only item on that termination page.  Once I did so, the order of execution was followed correctly.

Hi, Tim.

Yeah. A redirect functions upon load and the other things process when the submit/next button is clicked.

Our techs will look into this further to see if there are any system problems.

Thanks for  your feedback, Tim!
