Is it possible to move the text box next to the radio buttons in for example column 1?

Untested, but try this:

Works nicely, however, this will append on "input[type="text"]" which is the first column if I'm understanding the jquery right (I'm a beginner in jquery), what if someone would like to have it in the column 2 instead? I mean, is there a general way to specify in which column and row next to the radio button? Thanks for your nice answers!

I wonder, is there a way to do this with an Array (Text) type question -- a column for "No Answer", and a new row for "Other" with text input?

hi, this can apply with multiple short text, for add more "OTHER´S" in Q1?

I don't understand the question. The example above gives 3 "Other" inputs and can easily be expanded for more.

Thanks @tpartner for this great code!

However, I only wanted to ask if there is also a way to accomplish this without using JavaScript? @DenisChenu has posted something that seems to go into this direction. Unfortunately, it is not fully clear how his example actually works. Does anybody have a detailed explanation of @DenisChenu's post or how to accomplish this without using JavaScript?

I never put any code about a solution to integrate "other free text" in the array .

Just the simple Expression manager system to fill sub questions with another question : master.sondages.pro/919152

Well, still with JavaScript, but this may be a better solution - the "Other" or "Comments" fields are in modal (pop up) dialogs.

Wow, big effort for answering with javascript solution everywhere, i appreciate and you all amazing guys

But im scare about the result of the input, would it be a big trouble when we collect the data and export for analysing it ?

Because we add more our own input field and not from the official system

Im new with LS, but in my logic it can be happen, but maybe it's not a problem when you create javascript and you know what are you doing

Thanks !!

Thanks @tpartner for this great code!

Yes, for Limesurvey 3.x and 5.x there is an easy to use plugin which allows adding 1-x other free text fields to array questions, see attached screenshots.
 
 
You can test the feature at  plugins.mysurveyhosting.com/index.php/362484?newtest=Y&lang=en and download the plugin at  survey-consulting.com/product/array-with...xt-limesurvey-plugin .
