Change error messages and pop ups for mandatory questions was created by kathryncarpenter
Hi,

I'm trying to change all error messages in my survey when someone does not answer a mandatory question. This is both the popup text box 'One or more mandatory questions have not been answered. You cannot proceed until these have been completed.' and also the red text above the mandatory question 'This question is mandatory'. 

Is there a way to do both of these?

I am running LimeSurvey 3.27.16

Many thanks,
Kathryn

For the modal pop-up, here is a related thread - forums.limesurvey.org/forum/can-i-do-thi...e-button-text#219393

For the question mandatory text, something like this in your theme custom.js file:

Code:
$(document).on('ready pjax:scriptcomplete',function(){
 
  // Modify mandatory text
  var mandatoryText = 'My new text!'
  $('.question-valid-container').each(function(i) {
    if($.trim($(this).text()) == 'This question is mandatory') {
      $(this).html($(this).html().replace(/This question is mandatory/, mandatoryText));
    }
  });
});
Cheers,
Tony Partner
