I want to change the comment box text (originally: “Please enter your comment below”). I followed the solutions proposed here: [url]
forums.limesurvey.org/forum/can-i-do-thi...st-with-comment-text
[/url] but they don’t work. The original text remains unchanged. We have to use Version 2.05+ Build 140404. What is the proper code? Thank you for your help
2.05+? A over 7 (in words SEVEN) year old installation, and not even the 'must up to date' version of the 2.0x branch out in the wild. That is brave. In times of GDPR, LGPD, CCPA, etc. collecting (personal?) data with a software that hasn't received update for that many years is a little risky, in my opinion. I would seriously recommend to update to the latest stable version (LS 3.x - don't go for LS 4.x for productive environments yet).
But anyway...
I think it will be difficult to find someone who still has an installation of this branch running to do tests.
But there are several solutions in your link for different versions. Tpartner confirms there that it works in LS 2.0x, so it should work for you.
So you would need to show us an example of what you did (e.g. an LSS file with just the relevant question and your solution that does not work).
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.
Thank you both. We are annoyed by the University’s version as well but are bound to it. Here is the template.js from the template folder. Where and how am I supposed to insert the code snippet? Here I just copied it to a new line at the end:

Thank you for the suggestion but it still has no effect

Problem not solved yet (see attachment)
. I’m already trying to push towards an update but would still be happy about a temporary fix for this issue...
