Add an Option "Other" to Array (Text) Questions

Add an Option "Other" to Array (Text) Questions was created by slaugh
Hi everyone,
Is it possible to add an option "Other" to Array (Text) Questions?
By that, I mean that the participant can write down its own subquestion in the Y-scale.
Thank you!

This is not possible right now.
However, what you could do is put a question before and ask for the content of "other" (if there is any) and pipe the response to this question into the array question via Expression Manager.

You can add a multiple-short-text question after the array and use JavaScript to move the text inputs into the array.
Here is a similar solution - www.limesurvey.org/en/forum/design-issue...to-text-input#102550

Thank you both for your answers.
I think I'll simply add a multiple short text after so the participant can specify what he meant by "Other1", "Other2" ans "other3" in the previous question.
But, that leads me to another question for you!
Can I use previous subquestions in relevance equation?
I'd like that the next question (that ask participants to specify what he meant by "Other1", "Other2" ans "other3" in the previous question...)appears only if the participants indicate something in the columns corresponding to the "Other1", "Other3" or "Other3" lines.
I tried something like that: ! is_empty(AUTREVEG1) or ! is_empty(AUTREVEG2) or ! is_empty(AUTREVEG3)
But it gives me synthax error for AUTREVEG1, AUTREVEG2, AUTREVEG3 which are my codes for the previous subquestions Other1, Other2 and Other3.
Hope I am clear eanough.
Thanks a lot.

You should be able to use the array filter feature for that, see manual.
Make sure that the text fields use the same subquestion codes as the "other" array subquestions like "o1", "o2", "o3"... .

Since this topic shows up from time to time, let me update the answer to: This can easily be done by a plugin when using the latest 3.x or 5.x version. The plugin is available at survey-consulting.com/product/array-with...t-limesurvey-plugin/ and you can test a demo survey at plugins.mysurveyhosting.com/index.php/362484?newtest=Y&lang=en .This is not possible right now.
