Can you request an unanswered response be answered instead of making it mandatory or doing nothing at all?

For example, when a question is not answered and Next is hit the first time a popup says something like "You missed X number of responses. Would you like to respond before moving on?" The respondent can either then choose to respond or hit Next a second time and move on. 

Thanks! 

Yes with JavaScript but the script details would be specific to the question types and numbers.

Ok. Thanks for your response!

Hi,
here you find a thread about this that started 9 years ago, but with a solution for arrays in version 3.x.

Consider Denis' remark there: "Make it mandatory with a "DK/NA" option"

Is this kind of Javascript solution the 'best'/only way to implement 'soft mandatory' in version 3.x ?

A way to do it without Javascript would be to dublicates all questions and place a copy after each question.
If a question is not answered, the copy of the question would be displayed with e.g. "Do you really don't want to answer that question"?
If a question is answered, you would hide the copy of the question.

Pros: That can be done without additional Javascript.  You can see when questions are directly answered and when the request was needed.
Cons: You have a lot more questions. And addtional work when analyzing data.

I tried out tpartner's script/example survey referenced by Joffm. It doesn't work. And I have been trying to wrap my head around the base of the problem. I am working with v3.24.6

Given a non-mandatory question there is always a "No answer" - option which is checked by default (we do not want this) -> script doesn't get triggered, because there is basically no way to leave the question empty

Given a mandatory question and leaving some sqs empty, the script does trigger as expected, but confirming the dialog doesn't remove the mandatory errors and submits (which I would have expected from the return true which basically would "recall" the default event), instead I get the normal mandatory error messages.

How do I have to adapt the script? Or even more specific: What function do i need to call to submit/go to next?

Given a non-mandatory question there is always a "No answer" - option which is checked by default (we do not want this)

You can disable this in the survey settings.

Thank you. Now it works.
