Can't find the option for Array (flexible labels) was created by richdesign
For some reason I don't have the option to select Array (flexible labels).
I'm using LimeSurvey 1.9 on LimeService, and I'm also very new to this, so I may be missing something very obvious here, but everything I read seems to assume it's available.
I am looking to create a question which looks like the 'Semantic Differential' example here:
docs.limesurvey.org/tiki-index.php?page=...ray_Flexible_Labels_
however, these are the only options I get in the Question Type drop down:
What am I missing?
Many thanks, Richard

OK. I've just answered this for myself. I just found by chance when I was looking for info about subquestions that v1.9 has different question types to v1.8:
docs.limesurvey.org/tiki-index.php?page=...ypes+in+version+1.90

Please update our manual accordingly. It's a wiki, you can't do much wrong and every improvement is appreciated.

Thanks, Mazi. Good idea.
There was already a mention at the top of the wiki page, but I had scrolled past it, so have added links to the v1.9 question types directly under the headings of the types which have changed or been removed.
Cheers, Rich

Hello -
I am having the same problem. I would like to use a 5-point array, but change the labels from "1 2 3 4 5" to "Excellent Good Average Fair Poor". I'm having a difficult time trying to find instructions to do this on the wiki site. Is it possible in 1.9, or do I need to revert to an ealier version?
The link in the above post ( docs.limesurvey.org/tiki-index.php?page=...ypes+in+version+1.90 ) no longer works, unfortunately.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

The question type documentation can be found here:
docs.limesurvey.org/tiki-index.php?page=...tions+for+LimeSurvey
Try this question type: docs.limesurvey.org/tiki-index.php?page=...r+LimeSurvey#F_Array
Just set an empty string as subquestion.

Thank you for the quick reply, Mazi. I'm not sure how to set up an "empty string as a subquestion." Or which main question type to use.
I did a search for "string" on that link you sent but couldn't find anything...
It seems to me like custom labels should be a standard feature because they're so prevalent in surveys, but maybe I'm just not fully understanding everything yet

Here comes your question:
Download:
Instructions:
1. Choose question type "array".
2. Define answer options "excellent - poor"
3. Enter a simple space as only subquestion text.
4. At the edit question screen, there is an advanced settings link at the bottom. Set the question attribute answer width to "1", so that the fake answer only takes 1% of the table width.

F_Array is no longer in that page. I also cannot find any documentation or options on how to change the column heading values. This is VERY common in questionnaires and I am puzzled that LimeSurvey does not have this option.
