Modify size of text field "other" was created by gbc-research
Please help us help you and fill where relevant:
Your LimeSurvey version: LimeSurvey Community Edition Version 6.3.8+231204
Own server or LimeSurvey hosting: Own server
Survey theme/template: Bootstrap Vanilla/Bootwatch
==================
Since upgrading our LS CE installation to LS 6 the custom css code we used to expand the size of the "other" text field does not work anymore (see enclosed screenshots of the same question in LS 5 and LS 6).

css code was taken from the following 2020 forum post:https://forums.limesurvey.org/forum/design-issues/122939-modify-width-of-text-box-for-response-other)


Checked all forums but only found posts for LS5.

Checked the issue for both themes Bootstrap Vanilla & Bootwatch, same result

Thank you for your support.

Hi dear Community,
I am also searching for a solution in LS6 to change the size (width) of the "other" text field in one specific question (so not overall in custom.css for the whole survey). I checked the version of this question in the German forum as well, but didn't find the answer there either.
I use LimeSurvey Community Edition Version 6.6.1+240806

Thank you very much in advance for any advice!

Try adding something like this to the question source:

Code:
<style type="text/css" data-author="Tony Partner">
    #question{QID} .text-item input.form-control {
        width: 500px;
        max-width: 100%;
    }
</style>
Cheers,
Tony Partner
