Hello! I have combed the docs and queried the forums here, and cannot find an answer—so am hoping there is a simple/easy one, for my inquiry.

I want to change the default text for "No Answer," to instead read "Prefer to not answer." Is that possible to do through the WebUI, or do I have to edit files at the server level?

I'd also love to somehow execute a global change to the "Other:" string to "Something else:," but am ok doing the per-question workaround in the UI, right now.

I'm using an instance running 3.23.6+200929. I am also only self-hosting, to meet my user's expectations for security (evil maid avoidance). Not to avoid giving money to Lime GmbH.

Thank you!

What question type(s) are you referring to?

As I'm aware, the "No Answer" default is only available for Radio Buttons.

I turned it on as a global setting for all question types, and for that to by-default be selected. It does not show-up on my checkbox question types. I'd love for it to show-up there, too, tbh!

It is also used in arrays. What question type(s) are you referring to?

Like I said: I would LOVE for "No Answer" to be an option for literally all question types. It is currently not.

I've turned-on the "Show 'no answer' option for non-mandatory questions:" switch in Global Settings > Presentation. That only offers "No Answer" as a default-selected option on Radio Buttons. A sample version of our survey, is here: survey.qubes-os.org/index.php?r=survey/index&sid=681812&lang=en

We're using radio buttons, checkbox multiple-choice, and ranking, as answer-types.

Can you attach a small sample survey (.lss file) containing only those questions?

Slightly off-topic... I have no idea what "an array" is. That syntax is not a common use of language that researchers use, for shaping surveys. Developers, yes. Researchers w/o a background in coding, no.

@cdorin When googling what an array means, I found this article. It is extraordinarily helpful, and an example of the direction LimeSurvey's documentation could benefit from moving towards. Sharing, as FYI: support.mysurvey.solutions/syntax-guide/...ti-select-questions/

Here you go! TY for taking the time to help me with this!!

List-radio questions:

If you are only dealing with one language, extend your theme and add this to the end of your custom.js file:



Multiple-choice and ranking questions:

You will need to manually insert the "No answer" options.
