Dear All, I need to limit to 1 row the answer' box of the long type questions. I see only the option to limit the number of rows to see or the characters' number...nothing more. Of course, I'm missing to see function that make possible to activate this limitation.
My survey is already running online, and I can do only the changes admitted in this stage.
Thanks.
Anna

I'm using a version 3.x and I confirm to see the Display row setting. I used it but it allows to reduce the number of rows to see, not the number of rows that can be filled. Of course this solution can help me to discourage extensive compilation.
Thanks for your support!
You can add this script to the question source. It will will hide the long textarea and insert a short text input. Values entered in that text input will be loaded into the hidden textarea.
Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
$(document).on('ready pjax:scriptcomplete',function(){
var thisQuestion = $('#question{QID}');
// Hide the textarea
$('.answer-item textarea', thisQuestion).hide();
// Insert short text input
$('.answer-item', thisQuestion).append('<input class="form-control inserted-input" type="text">');
$('.inserted-input', thisQuestion).val($('.answer-item textarea:eq(0)', thisQuestion).val());
// Listener on inserted input
$('.inserted-input', thisQuestion).on('keyup change', function(i) {
$('.answer-item textarea', thisQuestion).val($(this).val()).trigger('change');
});
});
</script>
Hi,
please do not forget:
all types of "text" questions (short, long, huge) have the same underlying data type in the MySQL database ("text", that is 65000 characters).
This means, I can enter in a short text field the same amont of characters as in the other.
As you see here
If you really want to limit the length of the answer you have to validate, like strlen(self) le 300

With a script I can transform the long text question in a Yes/No question?
Sometimes : best is to deactivate your survey temporary …
You can keep previous value with VV export/import or directly by deactivated table …
