==================
I'm using Array by Column question type, 3 sub-questions labelled rank 1, 2 & 3, and 10 answer options. (Visible in screenshot below)
I would like to hide / disable the answer options so that the answer options are effectively exclusive. For example, if I select Rank 1 - Option 1, I want to prevent users from selecting Option 1 as their 2nd or 3rd rank.
I'm purposefully avoiding using the included ranking type question in this instance due to accessibility issues.
 

Deleted, wrong answer

Sorry, wrong direction. There is more to this...

It's the wrong question type.
Use "array" and validate with "unique(self)"

Here some more alternatives

Hi Joffm, thanks for the reply -

This obviously is a working solution but in this case I think it would be much more friendly to respondents with accessibility issues to hide the options that are not "allowed".

For example a blind respondent may not have the visual reminder of which answers he has previously ranked and may get caught in a feedback loop. He may also miss visual clues as to how the question must be completed. In this case it would work much easier if his screen reader would not see the option to begin with.

Denis from SondagePro has a few examples of alternative ranking questions.

However, clicking on the button for "A lot of alternate ranking questions" gives an error to me.

This link seems to work:

The explanation on how it is done is with each example within the survey.

Doesn't solve the problem with the screen reader though.

How do you let a respondent set option 1 on 2nd rank, and option 2 on 1st rank in your screenshot?

You have to set both option to a very different rank and then back to the desired. Very complicated.

Regarding the link:
I don't see an issue here.

The one I posted always worked. The other one was fixed by Denis very quickly, after I told him via Discord. [/quote]

Thanks guys - I think in this case I will go with the validation option on the linked site and investigate a more complex solution at another time! Having thought about it, I can see potential issues with accessibility with my suggestion also

The same survey : demo.sondages.pro/714997#
With SkelVanilla , then aria-describedby for the error.

I think the 3rd option is the best for a11y ? unsure.
