I want to change qid 199 question type from * to S. S means short text type.
Then I edit mysql lime_questions table, update qid 199 type to S, but doesn't work.
anyelse should i edit?

Id also like some info on how to change a question type from 'multiple choice' to 'choose only one answer'

Backup data --> Deactivate survey --> Change Questio type

You probably won't be able to reimport the previous answers, because due to the different question type the older responses are not compatible with the database anymore.

Or more specifically when a particular answer is selected the other questions will not be selectable

Hey, Thanks holch. It is awesome that you are responding to people man, Thanks. Isn't there a way to use JavaScript to control on-clicks events for multiple choice questions within LimeSurvey? Where would I apply this javascript?...In the editor of the subquestion maybe?

Here is some documentation on how to use JavaScript in a survey - www.limesurvey.org/manual/Workarounds:_M...tc..29_in_LimeSurvey

I cannot give further advice without some specifics on what behaviour you want to achieve.

Well at the moment I have a multiple choice question in a live survey (e.g. Q10) and I am unable to change the type because the survey is currently active. The question is as follows:

Have you been employed for the last 6 months? Please select all that apply.

- Employed/working 5 or more days per week

- Employed/working 4 or fewer days per week

- Going to school/studying

- Too ill/sick to work

- Handicapped, cannot work

- Housework/ childcare

- Something Else

- Do not want to answer

These subquestions are multiple choice, so users can choose one or choose all of them. But what id like to do is, If the user chooses the last one (DO NOT WANT TO ANSWER) I want every other option that is selected to DESELECT all checkboxes. I don't know if Javascript or Jquery can be implemented in that manner in a subquestion edit box or not. I was thinking an onclick event or something along those lines.

Thanks for any feedback that you could provide
