Adding a time stamp in a list with comment question and hiding the comment was created by midnightking
Hello, I have recently had success creating time stamps in short text questions using the script below. I was wondering however, if it were possible to modify such a script for a List with comment question. The date would be stored in the text area of the comment, but it would be hidden to the participants using Javascript. However survey admins would have the date in the output.

Does this make sense ?

<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
if($('#question{QID} input:text:eq(0)').val() == '') {
$('#question{QID} input:text:eq(0)').val(new Date());
}
{
$('#question{QID}').hide();
}
});
</script>

This will load the textarea with a timestamp:

Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
 
  $(document).on('ready pjax:scriptcomplete',function(){
 
    if($.trim($('#question{QID} textarea:eq(0)').val()) == '') {
      $('#question{QID} textarea:eq(0)').val(new Date());
    }
    $('#question{QID} .answers-list').removeClass('col-sm-6');
    $('#question{QID} .text-item').hide();
  });
</script>
