Hello,

I have two questions.

1) Is there a way for dropdown's to work when placed in a column? When placed in a column I am unable to access any of my answers in the dropdown.
When not in a column, my dropdowns work. (Please see image)

2) Is there a way to fix the spacing in columns? When I put my questions in 3 columns the first column(Dates) is not lined up with the other two columns. (Please see attached image)

Thank you for your time and answers!

Hi, Tori,
as this layout (three dropdowns in columns) is not a standard feature, how did you achieve this?
Best you send your lss export.

And as you see, the displacement is because of the tip. So hide the tips. Best you enter your own tips right into the question text (if you think them to be necessary)

@Joffm have totally right : it's not a standard feature

The current solution is usage of flex :

Hi @Joffm,
Thank you so much for helping me with all my questions.
Hiding the tips made everything look better. To do the three columns all I did was write col-sm-4 under display --> class(es)

Hi,
if this question is still actual

When placed in a column I am unable to access any of my answers in the dropdown.

I do not see a problem.
See this example.

Or did I misunderstand?

Hi Joffm,

No you did not misunderstand. On mine, when I click on the dropdowns, nothing happens.
I tested the lss file you've attached and it works for me. It's so strange. I exported my non-working question group with the three columns into a new survey and it works now as well.
I also imported your lss question group to my current survey and the dropdowns don't work.
Perhaps it's a glitch somewhere in my current survey? :blink:

One more question, regarding the displacement of columns. The last ones were fixed by hiding the tips but what if there aren't any? (Please see attached image)

Hi,
as we don't have seen your original survey we can't say anything about that issue.

Regarding the display.
You may try to set a min-height of the question-container.

@Joffm

Thank you.
Where do I put the question-container code?

- Tori

You may enter it in the first of these questions (source code mode) and with the <style> tags.
I do not think you want to set it into the custom.css.
