Hello,

I would like to randomize multi punch question items in blocks. I do have an exclusive option (always at the end) and a not open "other" option (at the second last position):

A--> Block 1
B--> Block 1
C--> Block 1
D--> Block 2
E--> Block 2
F--> Block 2
G--> Block 3
Other-->Block 3
Exclusive--> Block 3


For that reason, I created separate questions for every item-block (1st question with question text, others without) within the same question group and added the same randomization group name for all questions.

I used the follwing skripts:

1. For first question Block1 (items with question text):
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#question{QID}').addClass('no-bottom');
});
</script>

2. for following question Block 2-3 (only items, no question text):

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#question{QID}').addClass('no-question');
$('#question{QID}').addClass('no-bottom');
});
</script>

The problems are the following:

1. I want the questions always to be answered, but I can only put every question for itself as obligatory. This means one item of every question has to be selected, which does not always make sense.
2. If the exclusive option is selected ALL other items from all questions of this group should be grayed out. This right now only applies to items, which are in the same block.

Could you maybe help?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
it is much better to open a new topic instead of adding this question at the end of an old thread.

1. Instead of your javascript enter the used classes (.no-bottom,...) in "Display / css classes".

2. My proposal is:
Remove all mandatory settings, all "exclusive" settings and validate the first question (Q33).
Something like:
count(self,that.Q33Medien,that.Q33Umfeld,that.Q33Erfahrung,that.Q33Ende)>0
to check that there is at least one item selected.

Now you only have to extend this to validate that Q22Ende_12 is exclusive.

And a descriptive tip.

Hi, Sarah,
ich bin ja freundlich.

Well, here you get the full validation and a proposal for the tip:
question validation equation:
(count(self,that.Q33Medien,that.Q33Umfeld,that.Q33Erfahrung,that.Q33Ende)>0 AND Q33Ende_12!="Y") OR (count(self,that.Q33Medien,that.Q33Umfeld,that.Q33Erfahrung,that.Q33Ende)==1 AND Q33Ende_12=="Y")

question validation tip:
{if(count(self,that.Q33Medien,that.Q33Umfeld,that.Q33Erfahrung,that.Q33Ende)==0,"Bitte, mindestens eine Option wählen",if(count(self,that.Q33Medien,that.Q33Umfeld,that.Q33Erfahrung,that.Q33Ende)>1 and Q33Ende_12=="Y","'Exklusive' ist eine exklusive Option.",""))}

Of course you have to adapt the text to your needs.

Hi Joffm ,
thank you very much, this helped a lot!

Now we have another problem with the question validation equation:

We do have one question where we have filters on specific items. In this case, the question validation equation does not work. Do you have an idea how to solve this?

That's rather obvious.

If a subquestion is not displayed because of subquestion relevance its value is not defined.
So the validation equation will fail.
You have to use NAOK
www.limesurvey.org/manual/ExpressionScri...tation#Usage_of_NAOK

(count(self.NAOK, that.Q46Werbung.NAOK, that.Q46Lesen.NAOK, that.Q46Familie.NAOK, that.Q46Ende.NAOK)>0 AND Q46Ende_21!="Y")

Well, this validation equation is not complete. If you select Q46Ende_21 you will not be able to proceed.
