Array (text)--submit this question when they fill in at least one row was created by LisaTW

Hi there,
I try to use array(text) question to ask school travel, there are 4 ways (On foot, by cycling, by public transportation, by car), participant can choose multiple. This is a mandatory question.
But participant needs to fill in all boxes before submit. Could this question change to like this: people could submit this question when they fill in at least one row (like the attached picture).
I'm using Version 3.25.21.

Thank you in advance.

Best,
Lisa

Question validation equation (given y-scale sub-question codes Y001, Y002...):

Code:

count(self.sq_Y001) == 2
OR
count(self.sq_Y002) == 2
OR
count(self.sq_Y003) == 2
OR
count(self.sq_Y004) == 2

Cheers,
Tony Partner

Hi Tpartner,

Thank you for your quick reply!
I have tried to add question validation equation but my survey still didn't work. Could you help me check what is wrong in my sample survey?
I want to design this as: participant can choose fill in one row or multiple rows. But my survey still show warning: please complete all parts.

Thank you in advance!

Lisa

I didn't look into your survey, but my guess would be that you have to make the question "non mandatory" and use tpartners code instead to confirm that they filled in at least 1 cell.

Help us to help you!

Provide your LS version and where it is installed (own server, uni/employer, SaaS hosting, etc.).
Always provide a LSS file (not LSQ or LSG).

Note: I answer at this forum in my spare time, I'm not a LimeSurvey GmbH employee.

Hi holch,
Thank you for your suggestions! It works well now.
For the question about age, I may used wrong code. so the second question didn't work.
count(S001) == 1
OR
count(S002) == 1
OR
count(S003) == 1
OR
count(S004) == 1
OR
count(S005) == 1
OR
count(S006) == 1
OR
count(S007) == 1
OR
count(S008) == 1

I suspect the variable names are incorrect. Please read the manual - www.limesurvey.org/manual/ExpressionScri...#Access_to_variables
