I set Enable submit after 300 seconds for a questionnaire which forces participants to finish all questions within the questionnaire. It is no surprise that if participants miss some questions when submitting their answers by click "next" button, a reminder will pop out and asks participants to complete these questions. However, I also noticed that in this situaton, the timing will restart again from 0, which means that participants have to wait for another 300 seconds. So my question is, how to stop the timer restart timing again when participants submit answers that do not meet requirements?

There are two ways to go about it. One way would be add an extra choice on the lines of "Did not answer", and set that as the default choice. So that when you a force a response, that choice is selected and the page advances. Additionally, you can add the JS code below, to ensure that your participants don't see that choice:Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function(){last_choice=this.getChoices().length;qid=this.questionId;document.querySelector("#"+qid+"-"+last_choice+"-label").hide();}); The other option would be to skip forced validation all together and just use JS to keep track of the time and click the next button when its over.
