Hi,
we have 2 questions in a survey
1, What is your age?
Ans. 26
2, Age group (autocode age group)
Ans.
* below 20
* 20 - 25
*26 - 30
*31 - 35
*above 35

Here the answer of seconed question is autocode as 26-30, but still the user can edit this. How to set this question as read only status ?
Thanks in advance
Kindly please help...

What version of LimeSurvey is used? Since we don't know how the autocode question is implemented, it's not possible to provide a solution. Without any information I would try to hide the question via CSS.

Hi,
Lime survey version - Version 3.15.5+181115

Autocode is done by this way-

in Question validation equation: S2=if(S1.NAOK < 20, "1", if(S1.NAOK >= 20 && S1.NAOK <= 25, "2", if(S1.NAOK >= 26 && S1.NAOK <= 30, "3", if(S1.NAOK >= 31 && S1.NAOK <= 35, "4", if(S1.NAOK >= 36, "5"))))))

just need to set this question as read only..
Thanks in advance

Hi,
if it is to be "readonly", why do you show it at all (as jelo)?
Here you only define some age brackets.

And if you really want to show his age bracket to the respondent, do it in a question of type "text display".

Two more things:

in Question validation equation: S2=if(S1.NAOK < 20, "1", if(S1.NAOK >= 20 && S1.NAOK <= 25, "2", if(S1.NAOK >= 26 && S1.NAOK <= 30, "3", if(S1.NAOK >= 31 && S1.NAOK <= 35, "4", if(S1.NAOK >= 36, "5"))))))

1. in Question validation equation? Usually you do this in a question of type "equation"

2. You do not understand the logic of the IF function quite well.
You see, all your ">=" parts are not necessary; because they are always TRUE; otherwise these parts were not reached.

S2=if(S1.NAOK < 20, "1", if(S1.NAOK <= 25, "2", if(S1.NAOK <= 30, "3", if(S1.NAOK <= 35, "4", "5")))) is sufficient.
