Hi all!

I have been using the workaround for secundary options in "multiple options" question , but it is configurated so as to open all the secundary options whenever a primary option is clicked.
That would work fine if only one of the answers would nest several secundary options, like:

Before clicking:

[]Primary 1
[]Primary 2
[]Primary 3

After clicking:

[]Primary 1
[X]Primary 2
....[]Secundary 2.1
....[]Secundary 2.2
[]Primary 3


For me, because every primary has several secundaries, what happens is that even if I click only one primary 1, all the other secundaries open. Like:

[X]Primary 1 (only this should open)
....[]Secundary 1.1
....[]Secundary 1.2
[]Primary 2
....[]Secundary 2.2
....[]Secundary 2.2
[]Primary 3
....[]Secundary 3.1
....[]Secundary 3.2


I thought that some code in the question itself could instruct the secundaries to remain hidden until the correspondent primary is selected, but my limited skills didn't allow me to solve this yet...

Any ideas on how to do it?


Thanks a lot!

That should not happen. What LimeSurvey version and template?

Hi Tony,



Template based on default (just added this workaround on js and changed some css)
Version 2.05+

When I preview the question, that does not happen.
But when I run the whole survey, then it happens that the secondary options open.
I have this question type several times throughout the survey (some are the same question, repeated). And actually, in one of the questions this problem does not happen the first time it appears (later on the survey, the same question opens all the subquestions...).

Still I thought it could be something possible to change in the question itself...

I cannot reproduce that in any browser. Please test with the attached multiple-question survey and template.

I works fine with that example.

With my questions, it also works when I run then individually. If I run just one group (where these kind of questions exist), it's also fine. The problem is when I run the whole survey. Then the problem I explained happens.
And that is weird...

Besides the opening of all the secondary options, it's also not possible to close them again by unchecking the box.

Is there anything in conditions and survey flow that can change how these multiple-questions with secondary options work?

No, there is nothing in the survey flow that can change this workaround. There must be a JavaScript conflict in your template or in those groups.

Thanks a lot for your input Tony.

I copied the survey and tried the following changes:
- applied the demo-secondary-checkboxes template (to exclude some conflict in my template)
- deleted all the other questions that had Javascript (to exclude conflict with other pieces of js)

What remained:
- a survey with 7 groups
- conditions in a screening question


The problem persists...

Only when I removed the screening question (the survey questions only appear if the participant click "Yes" in that initial question) it started working normally!

But now I don't understand why... And several conditions are necessary throughout the survey.


Any more ideas? I'm quite confused now.

Thanks

Please attach a small test survey.

Here is goes.



thanks

Ah, you failed to mention that you have exclusive options in these questions. The workaround is not designed to handle those. I'll need to give some thought to that.

Are the exclusive options changing the display style of the inputs? I have had this happen to me before so instead of just using .hide(), i added a class to the hidden items that had display:none!important on it and removed that class when it was time to show them.
