Multiple choice - check all options was created by jporter
I've looked around in the forums and haven't had much luck finding what I want to do.

The exclusive option doesn't work as I need because when you select it, it sets a value in the database for the exclusive option answer, not the other answers.

What I need is when I check the "All of the above" option, that it will place a check in all of the other answer options for a particular multiple choice question.

I have posted it there as well but I'm wondering if I could somehow create some javascript that might produce the results needed.

Have a look at manual -> workarounds -> JavaScript, there are several examples which might be a good start.

Try this as a workaround.

1) Set up your survey to use JavaScript .

2) Add the following script to the source of the question. Replace "QQ" with the question ID .

The script puts a listener on the last checkbox of a question. If the box is checked, all other boxes in that question are checked and disabled.
Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
 
  $(document).ready(function(){
 
    selectAll(QQ);
 
    function selectAll(qID) {
      // Initial setting
      if($('div#question'+qID+' input[id^="answer"]:last').attr('checked') == true) {
          $('div#question'+qID+' input[id^="answer"]').attr('checked', true).attr('disabled', true);
          $('div#question'+qID+' input[id^="answer"]:last').attr('disabled', false);
      }
 
      // Listener on last checkbox
      $('div#question'+qID+' input[id^="answer"]:last').click(function(){
        if($(this).attr('checked') == true) {
          $('div#question'+qID+' input[id^="answer"]').attr('checked', true).attr('disabled', true);
          $(this).attr('checked', true).attr('disabled', false);
        }
        else {
          $('div#question'+qID+' input[id^="answer"]').attr('checked', false).attr('disabled', false);
        }
      });
 
      // Re-enable checkboxes so data gets stored
      $('#moveprevbtn, #movenextbtn, #movesubmitbtn').click(function(){
        $('div#question'+qID+' input[id^="answer"]').attr('disabled', false);
      });
    }
  });
 
</script>

Many years since this was posted, but I'm a similar situation -- wanting to have the last option be "All of the above" and when clicked, have LS select all the other answer options in the question.

I tried the above in 2.67.3, build 170728 -- but it doesn't work any more...

Can someone suggestion an updated JS script -- I have to have each option selected so it is recorded in the response table, so the "Auto-check exclusive option if all others are checked" doesn't work for my use case.

In version 2.67.x, this script will render the last checkbox as a "Select all" item.

Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
  $(document).on('ready pjax:complete',function() {
 
    // Identify this question
    var thisQuestion = $('#question{QID}');
 
    // Initial states
    if($('input[type="checkbox"]:last', thisQuestion).is(':checked')) {
      $('input[type="checkbox"]', thisQuestion).not(':last').prop('checked', true).prop('disabled', true);
    }
 
    // Listener on the last checkbox
    $('input[type="checkbox"]:last', thisQuestion).on('change', function(e) {
      if($(this).is(':checked')) {
        $('input[type="checkbox"]', thisQuestion).not(this).prop('checked', true).prop('disabled', true);
      }
      else {
        $('input[type="checkbox"]', thisQuestion).not(this).prop('disabled', false);
      }
 
      // Fire Expression Manager
      $('input[type="checkbox"]', thisQuestion).not(this).each(function(i) {
        checkconditions(this.value, this.name, this.type);
      });
    });
 
    // Re-enable checkboxes so data gets stored
    $('#moveprevbtn, #movenextbtn, #movesubmitbtn').on('click', function(){
      $('input[type="checkbox"]', thisQuestion).prop('disabled', false);
    });
  });
</script>

That's awesome! Thank you!

Is there a way that if the last option is clicked again, all items would be unchecked (toggled)?

Also, in your example survey, you have :

-> Array filter exclusion: populated with "Q1"
-> Subquestion "Select All" : has a blank Relevance equation

Is there a reason for the above, or just artifacts that aren't required?

    });
  });
</script>

2) Artifacts - ignore them.
