Did you look at your post? Don't paste images, use the editor to insert them.

Did you try importing my survey? This is why I provide them.

Cheers,

Do you have permissions to insert JavaScript?

Yes, I edited the post.
Unfortunately I cannot import your survey nor anything because I am not the site admin: we are doing this survey for a University project and our professor is the admin.

But your screenshot looks as if you are not allowed to enter javascript code.
Ask the admin of your LimeSurvey installation.
The XSS filter seems to be activated.

If you have the rights to do this you only
add the script to the question text in source code mode.
And  create a subquestion called "Others"

Do you have permissions to insert JavaScript?

 
An easier to use solution could be this plugin which doesn't require adding any custom JavaScript for having text fields at array questions:  survey-consulting.com/product/array-with...t-limesurvey-plugin/

It adds the fields like this:

Dear Tony Partner team,

I have come across your code to add an other option to arrays which has been very helpful. However, it doesn't seem to work to add an other option to "Array by column" questions, when the other option should be among the answer options in the rows (see picture below for illustration). I would be grateful for your guidance on how to adjust the code for this question type.

(I am using version 3.28.56.)

Thank you!

This script will move the "Other" input into the last row of an array-by-column question:

Code:
<script type="text/javascript" data-author="Tony Partner">  
  $(document).on('ready pjax:scriptcomplete',function(){
 
    // Identify the questions
    var thisQuestion = $('#question{QID}');
    var nextQuestion = thisQuestion.nextAll('.text-short:eq(0)');
 
    // Hide the next question
    nextQuestion.hide();
 
    // Move the text inputs
    $('tr[id^="javatbd"]:last td.answertext', thisQuestion).append($('.answer-item', nextQuestion));
 
    // Clean-up styling
    $('td.answertext .answer-item', thisQuestion).css({
      'padding': 0
    });
    $('td.answertext .answer-item div', thisQuestion).css({
      'padding': 0
    });
 
  });
</script>

Hi tpartner,
Thanks again for your solutions. I came across this topic, which helped me a lot. Is there a way to modify your code so that we have a button to add more "other" lines ? Or add a "other" line if the previous one is completed ?
I am using LS community edition 5.4.x
Thank you in advance !
Best regards,
David

1.More other lines?
Add more "short text" questions

2. Button?
Something similöar.
Search the forum for "varLengthArray"

3. Show if the previous is completed?
Use subquestion relevance to display the row if the previous is "not empty"
