Multiple numeric entries was created by mblaise
Hi everyone,

I am creating a new survey.
It is a multiple numeric entry : each person answers with numbers on the subquestions, and the total has to be 30.

My question : is it possible to limit the total number of each subquestion

Ex : Marie is answering the survey as follows :
Subquestion 1 : 10
Subquestion 2 : 20
Subquestion 3 : 0
Total of Marie's choices : 30

--> is it possible to limit the number on Subquestion 2, for example:
Subquestion 2 is limited to 40 in total
Jim answered 30 to subquestion 2
When Marie wants to answer 20 to subquestion 2, she gets an error message : "only 10 is left for subquestion 2 !"

I hope this is clear, let me know !

Out of the box, there is no access to previous results.

I suppose you could code an AJAX call that queries the database but how would you handle concurrent respondents?
Cheers,

The idea would be for the respondents to not be able to answer a number that would make the sum of responses excede a certain amount

As Tpartner says: This is not possible out of the box and requires custom coding.

But even with custom coding: What happens with people answering at the same time? How would you handle that?

ajax or javascript solution currently.
With help from framagit.org/SondagePro-LimeSurvey-plugin/getStatInSurvey for javascript for example.

Project : put this in a future version (with a clean system to add it via plugins).

Yeah good point. Could one of the respondents be blocked while the first finishes answering ?
If so i'll try and get custom coding

I use it with javascript and css.
Code:
<span class="{if('[Q.nb.A1]'<10,'hidden','')}"> Answer for A1</span>[code]
[code]$("#question{QID} .hidden").each(function(){
$(this).closest('.answer-item').remove();
});
