==================
Hello!

I'm trying to hide the "other"-option for participants using certain languages. Specifically, I have 4 languages for the survey, the default being German. I want to disable all open text fields for the other 3 languages. I manage to do this with all questions and subquestions via a relevance equation, but I can't specifiy a relevance equation for the default other field that is activated via the question options.

Is there a way to do this?

(Interestingly, using {LANG} doesn't work if I use it directly in the equations but working around it by creating a hidden free text question that loads {LANG} into it and then using that question works.)

There are no clean solution here …

Alternate solution : add an "MyOther" option, if Q01_MyOther == "Y" : show a text quetsion type.

(Interestingly, using {LANG} doesn't work if I use it directly in the equations but working around it by creating a hidden free text question that loads {LANG} into it and then using that question works.)
I think it must be reported, it work directly in 3.X and before

Hi,
Always the first thing to do is to use the webdevelopment tool of your browser (F12) to find the affected classes.
Here you will see that for
list(radio) and multiple questions these are
  • .other-text-item
  • .othertext-label-checkox-container   (It's not my typo, it's really "checkox")

Now you have different options to enter it into the source code of the affected languages (all except German)
Either as javascript

Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
$(document).on('ready pjax:scriptcomplete',function(){
    $('.other-text-item').hide();
    $('.othertext-label-checkox-container').hide();
  });
</script>


or as css
Code:
<style type="text/css">
  .other-text-item,
  .othertext-label-checkox-container {
      display:none;
  }
</style>

This worked quite well if added to the specific questions. Thank you for the help!
Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
$(document).on('ready pjax:scriptcomplete',function(){
    var lang = "{LANG}";
    if(lang!='de') {
        $('.other-text-item').hide();
        $('.othertext-label-checkox-container').hide();
    }
});
</script>
