Hi,


I've been building a parser for the XML returned from your API methods and I've noticed the there are two <status> tags with different properties:

<status>success</status>  //which tells me the api call returned ok.

then later

<status>In Design</status>  //which tell me whether the survey has launched, in design, etc.

Although it is no big problem developing a working around, I found it quite frustrating to have two fields with the same text that mean something different, and it meant my code became more complicated because many parsers do a string compare to find out which tag the parser is looking at.


It would be nice to have a different / unique name.

Hey, Paul!

You're right, I'll bet that can be confusing. I'll let our developers know and hopefully this can be a quick fix for you.
