==================
Bonjour,
I need to gather some information to be used within the survey :
a) a profile type (home, at work, outside) which result will help to filter some useless answers
b) how many people are considered (1 to ten) used outside the survey to calculate quantities
c) how many children are included there (0 to the number indicated in the b) sub-question.
I've seen an old post that I imported in the lss attached in the G1 but the script does not work anymore for forcing the numbers on the second column, moreover, I would need to use the answer made at section b) to validate the input at section c)... can you help ?
Thanks a lot in advance :)

Subsidiary question : I am quite lost with the search tool of the forum, googling return more result than the search but often older posts... is there somewhere a "help" that I could use to improve my searching ?

Hi,
this is a typical case of validation.
Like Q1_Y001_X002.NAOK le 10 AND Q1_Y001_X003.NAOK  le Q1_Y001_X002.NAOK
for all rows.
Or if you insert a drop-down into AnswerB maybe like this
(is_empty(Q1_SQ001_AnswerC) OR is_numeric(Q1_SQ001_AnswerC)) and (Q1_SQ001_AnswerC.NAOK le Q1_SQ001_AnswerB.NAOK)
for all rows.
 

And the script?
It is to insert a drop-down into column coded "AnswerA".
So not really related to your question.
I do not see an issue here.
 

At the end there are the array(numbers).
You already asked about this and @tpartner provided a very flexible solution.

I am quite lost with the search tool of the forum

So am I.
But even you are part of the problem.
With your topic "Is it possible to setup a Table(text) question as follow ?"
Who do you think will find this if he searchs for the validation / limitation of an entered number?

@Joffm, thanks a lot for this reply.
What you did is exactly what I need :). Where shall I insert this validation ? In the condition area or in the Regex one ? 

Initially I thought this should be done through the script, as the description of the post was mentioning this, but you are right, I could not find any references to a check format on the script so.... I must be somewhere else..

Regarding the forum, you are fully right also but as the subject field has a nbchar limitation, I had to find something...

And thanks to you and all the comments and judgment on my questions, the way I write, what I ask... each post helps me to be a better newby :).
Cheers

Neither nor.
Validations - except regex - are done in "Logic / question validation equation"
as you read in the manual in each "question type"

Tks again for the answers, I could find the right place under the Logic section.

Regarding the script, I still face an issue because the dropdown is available but do not store any results, even when I am choosing something else than the default.

Quite happy to get every day closer to the end of the project and a big bravo to the whole team for the amazing work and support you are doing. Merci.

I'll stop keeping you busy : validation step is 90% covering the need + setting the question not mandatory it works around the issue I had.
For this the validation at the right place as explained previously is very good.
Note that validation only "tips" is very good if you do not need multilingual help as it's a global solution for the question.
PS: lss was the one you've used to say I did wrong (again ).

What do you mean by this?
I do not see an issue
 

The only things are:
1. There is no code for "Home"
2. You store the text insted of the codes. This is because you use a script to store the text.
To store the code you should exchange the "Listener" and "Returning to page" part by
Code:
// Listeners $('.inserted-select', thisQuestion).on('change', function(i) {     if($(this).val() != '') {         $(this).closest('.answer-item').find('input:text').val($('option:selected', this).val()).trigger('change');     }     else {         $(this).closest('.answer-item').find('input:text').val('').trigger('change');     } });// Returning to page $('.with-select input:text', thisQuestion).each(function(i) {     var thisCell = $(this).closest('.answer-item');     var inputText = $.trim($(this).val());     $('select.inserted-select', thisCell).val(inputText); });

 
 

only "tips" is very good if you do not need multilingual help as it's a global solution for the question.

Of course not.
Switch the language and enter the tip.

Great for the translation.. even if between js in the code of the question, tips in the validation code, it can be a certain burden to maintain..
Regarding the js, the issue might have been linked to the <option value=""> which was "" instead of "0", but in the end, I've removed the mandatory and only setup the validation test you gave me.
All fine at the moment from my side now :) 
Again thank you for your help.
Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">     $(document).on('ready pjax:scriptcomplete',function(){         var thisQuestion = $('#question{QID}');           // Insert selects         $('.answer-item.answer_cell_TP01a', thisQuestion).addClass('with-select').append('<select class="inserted-select form-control list-question-select">\                                                     <option value="">Type 1</option>\                                                     <option value="1">Type 2</option>\                                                     <option value="2">Type 3</option>\                                                 </select>');         // Listeners         $('.inserted-select', thisQuestion).on('change', function(i) {             if($(this).val() != '') {                 $(this).closest('.answer-item').find('input:text').val($.trim($('option:selected', this).text())).trigger('change');             }             else {                 $(this).closest('.answer-item').find('input:text').val('').trigger('change');             }         });                             // Returning to page         $('.with-select input:text', thisQuestion).each(function(i) {             var thisCell = $(this).closest('.answer-item');             var inputText = $.trim($(this).val());             var selectval = $('select.inserted-select option', thisCell).filter(function () { return $(this).html() == inputText; }).val();             $('select.inserted-select', thisCell).val(selectval);         });             // Clean-up styles         $('select.inserted-select', thisQuestion).css({             'max-width': '100%'         });         $('.with-select input:text', thisQuestion).css({             'position': 'absolute',             'left': '-9999em'         });     }); </script>
