Hi All,

My LimeSurvey version: 6.10
Own server or LimeSurvey hosting: Docker
Survey theme/template: (slightly modified) Bootswatch
====================================
I would like to increase the indent of answers within Multiple Choice question type automatically based on answer code (ie if the answer code begins by 'SA' /SubAnswer/ for example then increase the indent, but do nothing else).

[I did browse the Limesurvey Javascript documentation and the LS forum, I know about the hide/show increased indentation solution which do require to modify manually the javascript inserting the secondary and tertiary answer codes. I do not need to hide any subanswer, I am perfectly happy by showing them, however with increased indentation.]

Example:
answer code      subanswer
A1                      Primary answer 1
A2                      Primary answer 2
SA21                      Secondary answer 1 to Primary answer 2
SA22                      Secondary answer 2 to Primary answer 2
A3                      Primary answer 3
...

My failing code attempt is this:

---

    $(document).on('ready pjax:scriptcomplete',function() {                                                       
      // Select the secondary answers - this should work according to the LS-Javascript doc
      var secAnswers = $(self.sq_SA);
     // should I here somehow iterate through the whole secAnswers Array and set CSS one by one?
      secAnswers.css({ 'margin-left':'2.5em' });
    });

 

Here a short solution to only indent the subquestions that start with a certain code ("SA")

That is perfect! Thank you Joffm!

Hi,
and if you want to use the "old", "known" script with the better handling of these dependend subquestions just exchange the "hardcoded" subquestions


with this
