Triple-scale array question? Matrix with different scales was created by DamianP

Hello Lime-Geniuses!

Is there a good soul that can help me? :unsure:

I was wondering if i can do the triple-scale array question with different scales?

I have been reading for a while and what i have found for now (which i think is the closest to solution) is merging 3 questions with some JS.

However people say it works only for the same type of questions. I really need it to be like in the attached file.

Unfortunetaly i don't know JS

Is it hard to write a code that would change a dual-scale array for triple-scale? Or maybe there is some other solution?

Any help would be much appreciated Guys!

Damian.

Hi,
you can do this

Put this into the question text.

Code:

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
	$(document).on('ready pjax:scriptcomplete',function(){
		var thisQuestion = $('#question{QID}');
 
		// Insert selects
		$('.answer-item.answer_cell_X001', thisQuestion).addClass('with-select').append('<select class="inserted-select form-control list-question-select">\
  <option value="">select...</option>\
  <option value="1">Tak</option>\
  <option value="2">Nie</option>\
  <option value="3">Nie wiem</option>\
</select>'); 		
$('.answer-item.answer_cell_X002', thisQuestion).addClass('with-select').append('<select class="inserted-select form-control list-question-select">\
  <option value="">select...</option>\
  <option value="1">Tak</option>\
  <option value="2">Nie</option>\
  <option value="3">Nie wiem</option>\
</select>'); 
$('.answer-item.answer_cell_X003', thisQuestion).addClass('with-select').append('<select class="inserted-select form-control list-question-select">\
  <option value="">select...</option>\
  <option value="1">Bardzo male</option>\
  <option value="2">Male</option>\
  <option value="3">Srednie</option>\
  <option value="4">Duze</option>\
  <option value="5">Bardzo duze</option>\
</select>'); 

		// Listeners
		$('.inserted-select', thisQuestion).on('change', function(i) {
			if($(this).val() != '') {
				$(this).closest('.answer-item').find('input:text').val($.trim($('option:selected', this).text())).trigger('change');
			}
			else {
				$(this).closest('.answer-item').find('input:text').val('').trigger('change');
			}
		});
 
		// Returning to page
		$('.with-select input:text', thisQuestion).each(function(i) {
			var thisCell = $(this).closest('.answer-item');
			var inputText = $.trim($(this).val());
			var selectval = $('select.inserted-select option', thisCell).filter(function () { return $(this).html() == inputText; }).val();
			$('select.inserted-select', thisCell).val(selectval);
		});
 
		// Clean-up styles
		$('select.inserted-select', thisQuestion).css({
			'max-width': '100%'
		});
		$('.with-select input:text', thisQuestion).css({
			'position': 'absolute',
			'left': '-9999em'
		});
	});
</script>

As you might have seen:
The codes of the x-scale are: "X001", "X002", ...

Best regards

Really really big thanks for your engagement!

However, we have 60 subquestions, so it will be hard for our respondents to click 180 times to unfold the responses.
I guess it is not possible to change it into radio buttons?

Sorry for beeing that picky. I really appreciate you responded in the first place. Not mentioning that You have provided me with a copy-paste code!

I found a guy who figured it out for me.

So if anyone has the same problem - Enjoy the solution

One thing you have to remember - The triple array cannot be the first question or group in the survey.

LSS and LSG attached.

Thanks one more time @Joffm!!
