==================
Hi there, 

I want to design an array number question with check boxes with several different subheadings to categorise the answer options in the rows (see picture below). I have come across several forum entries which provide codes to insert subheadings in array questions, however, they don't seem to work for number arrays. I would be very grateful for your guidance on how to implement this in a numbers array question format!

Complicating things a bit further, I would also like to include an "other" option in each of the categories (i.e. in the last row of each category, prior to the next subheading). I have figured out (thanks to previous entries!!) how to add an "other" option in the last row of a numbers array, but I am not sure how I would insert it in each category.

I know this is a quite nuanced question and trust me, I have considered several workarounds (e.g. having multiple questions in one question category....) but none of them make sense in the specific context of my questionnaire. 

Any ideas are very much appreciated - thank you so much for your help!!!

Thanks for sharing, Joffm. Just tested it and it seems not to work for LS 6. I'll need to have a look at this and see how to make this work for LS6.
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.

Yes, it does not.
When I change these lines of code
Code:
        // Move the hidden text inputs into the array
            $('th.answertext:eq(7)', thisQuestion).append($('input[type="text"]', nextQuestions[0])).closest('tr').addClass('otherRow');
            $('th.answertext:eq(11)', thisQuestion).append($('input[type="text"]', nextQuestions[1])).closest('tr').addClass('otherRow');
            $('th.answertext:eq(14)', thisQuestion).append($('input[type="text"]', nextQuestions[2])).closest('tr').addClass('otherRow');

it works, but I have no clue why the first "Other" is in row 7. I just tried.
