Hey. Again me with another question
My survey has a short explanation text and on this basis first an open text field and then several single choice questions. Sometimes the single choice questions repeat a part of the open text question. That's why I want to prevent participants from editing their written text.
My ideas to do it:
1) Disable the previous button. Found this thread and it worked. But of course with it it's not possible to go back to other parts of the survey (as this text comprehension task is just a short part of the whole survey). So is it possible with this js-code to skip the page with the text field, but still go further back to the other parts?
2) Prevent editing the text field with grey out or something. So after validating the answer with pressing "next" it shouldn't be possible to do any changes...
Is it possible to do this?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
my idea is - as usual only with built-in functions - to store the entered text in a hidden question of the same type.

1. There is the question "Open1"
2. create a hidden question of the same type "Open2"
Now create two hidden equations:
3. Store the value of "Open1" into "Open2", BUT ONLY if "Open2" is still empty.
Equation: {Open2=if(is_empty(Open2),Open1,Open2)}
4. Restore "Open2" into "Open1"
Equation: {Open1=Open2}
So, if "Open1" was changed, the "old" value is entered again.

Example. You will see, the first entered text doesn't change.

My solution, as usual, includes JavaScript.

On page load, if the text element is not empty, disable it.

For a long-text question, something like this in the question source:


For a short-text question, something like this in the question source:

My solution, as usual, includes JavaScript

Both solutions are awesome - thanks a lot, Joffm & tpartner!
Now I have to decide which one works better for me
