Hi,
this is because it is a coded (closed) question.
Meaning, this answer option is stored in the database as is when you activate the survey.
But there are other options.
The text is really stored in a questuion of type "array(text)" with this script
array(text) is an open question.
Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
$(document).on('ready pjax:scriptcomplete',function(){
var thisQuestion = $('#question{QID}');
// Insert selects
$('.answer-item.answer_cell_X001', thisQuestion).addClass('with-select').append('<select class="inserted-select form-control list-question-select">\
<option value="">--Please, select--</option>\
<option value="1">Option 1</option>\
<option value="2">Option 2</option>\
<option value="3">Test {date("Y")}</option>\
<option value="4">Option 4</option>\
</select>');
// Listeners on select elements
$('.inserted-select', thisQuestion).on('change', function(i) {
if($(this).val() != '') {
$(this).closest('.answer-item').find('input:text').val($.trim($('option:selected', this).text())).trigger('keyup');
}
else {
$(this).closest('.answer-item').find('input:text').val('').trigger('keyup');
}
});
// Returning to page
$('.with-select input:text', thisQuestion).each(function(i) {
var thisCell = $(this).closest('.answer-item');
var inputText = $.trim($(this).val());
var selectval = $('select.inserted-select option', thisCell).filter(function () { return $(this).html() == inputText; }).val();
$('select.inserted-select', thisCell).val(selectval);
});
// Clean-up styles
$('select.inserted-select', thisQuestion).css({
'max-width': '100%'
});
$('.with-select input:text', thisQuestion).css({
'position': 'absolute',
'left': '-9999em'
});
});
</script>
You see the x-axis subquestion is coded "X001"
You may use a question of type "multiple short text" with only one subquestion.
With this script:
Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
$(document).on('ready pjax:complete',function() {
var qID = {QID};
var inputNum = 1;
// Define the select element (dropdown)
var prov1 = '<select id="prov1" class="form-control">\
<option value="">--Please, select--</option>\
<option value="1">Option 1</option>\
<option value="2">Option 2</option>\
<option value="3">Test {date("Y")}</option>\
<option value="4">Option 4</option>\
</select>';
// Hide the text input
$('#question'+qID+' .question-item:eq('+(inputNum-1)+') input[type="text"]').hide();
// Insert the select elements
if($('#question'+qID+' .question-item:eq('+(inputNum-1)+') select').length == 0) {
$('#question'+qID+' .question-item:eq('+(inputNum-1)+') input[type="text"]').before(prov1);
}
// Initially select an option if the question has already been answered
$('#question'+qID+' select').each(function(i) {
if($.trim($(this).next('input[type="text"]').val()) != '') {
$(this).val($.trim($(this).next('input[type="text"]').val()));
}
});
// Listener on the dropdowns - insert selected values into hidden text input
$('#question'+qID+' select').change(function() {
var thisInput = $(this).next('input[type="text"]');
$(thisInput).val($(this).val());
checkconditions($(thisInput).attr('value'), $(thisInput).attr('name'), 'text');
});
// Some styles
$('#question'+qID+' select').css({
'margin':'0.3em 0 0 0'
});
});
</script>
Unfortunately this script only stores the code, not the text.
Maybe somebody more able than I can adapt that the text is stored.
Here a comparison of these three options in the answer table

On the other side: What for do you want to do this?
Maybe we find a different approach.
