Array subquestions with multiple types?

I would like to do an array with multiple subquestion types but I can't find any way to do it. Is it possible?

For instance, if I wanted a question to ask someone which candy they liked. They could check the colors or enter free text under "other".
RedGreenOther
Jolly RancherPurple
Laffy TaffyYellow

p.s. can you add borders to a bbcode table?

Hi, ScottBeeson,
the first part of your question is answered many times in this forum.
Use array (number), advanced settings: display checkbox:ON.

Your second question ("Others") is not solved as easy. I do not know.

Best regards
Joffm

First part: as Joffm. Pretty easy.

Second part: Unfortunately LS does not have the option to join different questions very easy. You will have to create two questions and apply a work around.

Help us to help you!
  • Provide your LS version and where it is installed (own server, uni/employer, SaaS hosting, etc.).
  • Always provide a LSS file (not LSQ or LSG).

Try this plugin by Denis Chenu - framagit.org/SondagePro-LimeSurvey-plugin/arrayTextAdapt

Alternatively, see these posts for for inspiration on using a hidden multiple-short-text question and inserting the text inputs into the array (searching the forum may lead to more):
