Multiple Choice with labeled comments was created by RLaRock
Hi,

I'm rather new to LimeSurvey - I've been working with it for only a few days - so I apologize in advance.

What I'm looking to do is create a question that is like the following:

What are the various sources of energy used for running your irrigation system?
(Check all that apply)
 Electricity
Percentage of total________
 Diesel
Percentage of total________
 Propane
Percentage of total ________
 Renewable energy sources (digested materials, solar, wind, etc.)
Percentage of total________ Type__________
 Other
Please specify___________

I've tried using the Multiple Choice with comments, but for some reason it won't let you change the label text of the comment - in fact it seems to hide that label completely.

Any thoughts on whether this can be done in LimeSurvey?

Thanks in advance

You are mixing several question types which is not really doable with Limesurvey. For the first part where participants have to enter the percentages you can simply use a multiple numeric question and tell users to leave the input field blank if they don't use a certain energy type.
For certain options you can link follow up text questions conditionally e.g. to specify "other" choice.

Thank you, You helped get me on the right track.

I took your advice and have created a multiple choice with comments and added a new text field conditioned on the renewable energy entry.

Alls well now!

Thanks again
