Disable checkboxes in a row, if first checkbox is selected was created by vadikcoma
Hello guys, we are running survey about radio stations, and one of our questions is

"please select time of the day, when you were listening to certain station yesterday"


and we give following answer options:

- I wasn't listening to this radio yesterday
- 6:00
- 7:00
- 8:00
..

How do I make sure, that if a person selects first option (wasn't listening) then he is not able to select any hours for this station?

Hi,
the easiest way - out of the box - is the validation.
Something like:
((self.sq_SQ001_0!=1) or (sum(self.sq_SQ001)==1)) and ...
with SQ001, SQ002,... as subquestions
and "0" of code of option "not listening"


1. Correct


2. Not correct


Best regards

Hello Joffm,

Thank you for your time and reply,

I've tried your valiadation, however it still allows me to check multiple boxes when "wasn't listening" is checked. I will attach screenshot

Validation equation - ((self.sq_SQ019_0!=1) or (count(self.sq_SQ019)==1))

Joffm,

I'm really sorry, but I'm still not getting it. I've tried all possible combinations, and it still allows to check multiple

I have SQ019 for this question

((self.sq_SQ019_0!=1) or (count(self.sq_SQ019)==1))
((self.sq_SQ019_0!=0) or (count(self.sq_SQ019)==0))

((self.sq_SQ019_0!=1)
((self.sq_SQ019_0!=0)

(count(self.sq_SQ019)==1))
(count(self.sq_SQ019)==0))

Ah, I see difference - you've set your validation for whole survey, I did for each cell. I will try your approach it seems to work

Yes, what you did, was the subquestion relevance.
This is quite different from validation.

Hi,
furthermore you could mark this special cell.


I saw that your template was a ubuntu orange, though you unfortunately didn't tell us your LS version.

Well, add this to the question text:
Code:
<style type="text/css">
.answer_cell_000,
.answer_cell_0
{
    background-color: #eee !important;
    border-left: 1px solid red !important;
    border-right: 1px solid red !important;
}
</style>

Of course you can play around with the colors.

"000" and "0" are the code of this answer option.

Regards
Joffm

For a better respondent experience, you can use an adaptation of this workaround - www.limesurvey.org/manual/Workarounds:_M..._Excludes_All_Others .

Change this line:
Code:
$('.normal-item:last', this).removeClass('normal-item').addClass('exlusive-item')

To this:
Code:
$('.normal-item:first', this).removeClass('normal-item').addClass('exlusive-item')

Thank you very much guys for your help! I really appreciate it.

I've came across (hopefully) last problem.

I have "array" type question, and I need people to select exactly 4 answers.

Question translates to following - "Please select priority in which you would prefer to listen to following radio stations". And they select "1st priority", 2nd, and so on un to fourth.

However this question automatically adds last field which is "no answer". And the problem is - I need to be able to select multiple options in "No answer". As we have 13 stations and we ask to rank only top-4. So 9 stations should stay as "No answer"

As soon as I select any other option in "no answer" manually - everything breaks. Please see screenshot:

link - radioeksperti.lv/index.php/743247



When I select my 4 options - all seems nice and cool:



But if I make a mistake and want to select another station, this happens:



And there is no way I can select multiple "no answer" from this point onwards.

Maybe you have some ideas how to improve this?

That workaround was not intended to work with no answer enabled. Disable that in your survey settings and insert it manually in the questions where you need it.

So this is a ranking question and you should use a question of this type.
Just set "Maximum answers" to 4.
