Array(Text) default answers in LS 3.X was created by frederikbrandenstein
I use the code as outlined in this answer for masking values with text in dropdown menus.

I would additionally like the answers to default to some string "2".

For LS 2.X there are some solutions given in the forum, like here .

I struggle to adapt it to my LS 3.16 installation.

I guess there is sth. that should do what I mean in the section ///Default to "2" in the following code. While it's not working, you most probably get the line of thought:
Code:
$(document).on('ready pjax:scriptcomplete',function(){
    var thisQuestion = $('#question{QID}');
 
     /// Default to "2"  ----- doesn't work :P 
    $('.inserted-select', thisQuestion).each(function(i){
  $(this).closest('.answer-item').prop('value', '2')
    });
 
 
    // Insert selects
    $('.answer-item', thisQuestion).append('<select class="inserted-select form-control list-question-select">\
                          <option value="1">+</option>\
                          <option value="2">0</option>\
                          <option value="3">-</option>\
        <option value="">Keine Angabe</option>\
                        </select>');  
 
    // Listeners
    $('.inserted-select', thisQuestion).on('change', function(i) {
      if($(this).val() != '') {
        $(this).closest('.answer-item').find('input:text').val($.trim($('option:selected', this).text())).trigger('change');
      }
      else {
        $(this).closest('.answer-item').find('input:text').val('').trigger('change');
      }
    });
 
    // Returning to page
    $('input:text', thisQuestion).each(function(i) {
      var thisCell = $(this).closest('.answer-item');
      var inputText = $.trim($(this).val());
      var selectval = $('select.inserted-select option', thisCell).filter(function () { return $(this).html() == inputText; }).val();
      $('select.inserted-select', thisCell).val(selectval);
    });
 
    // Clean-up styles
    $('select.inserted-select', thisQuestion).css({
      'max-width': '100%'
    });
    $('input:text', thisQuestion).css({
      'position': 'absolute',
      'left': '-9999em'
    });
  });
 
 

As always, I'd appreciate any help .

Can you attach a small sample survey (.lss file) containing only the relevant question and your JavaScript?

Find an example attached. This works; nagging me is that it doesn't default to some value, let's say "cannot decide" in the example case.

I think this may do the trick:

Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
  $(document).on('ready pjax:scriptcomplete',function(){
    var thisQuestion = $('#question{QID}');
 
    // Insert selects
    $('.answer-item', thisQuestion).append('<select class="inserted-select form-control list-question-select">\
                          <option value="1">+</option>\
                          <option value="2">cannot decide</option>\
                          <option value="3">-</option>\
                          <option value="">None</option>\
                        </select>');  
 
    // Listeners
    $('.inserted-select', thisQuestion).on('change', function(i) {
      if($(this).val() != '') {
        $(this).closest('.answer-item').find('input:text').val($.trim($('option:selected', this).text())).trigger('change');
      }
      else {
        $(this).closest('.answer-item').find('input:text').val('').trigger('change');
      }
    });
 
    // Initial state
    $('input:text', thisQuestion).each(function(i) {
      var thisCell = $(this).closest('.answer-item');
      var inputText = $.trim($(this).val());
      var selectval = $('select.inserted-select option', thisCell).filter(function () { return $(this).html() == inputText; }).val();
      $('select.inserted-select', thisCell).val(selectval);
 
      // Default answer
      var defaultOption = '2';
      if(inputText == '') {
        $(this).val($('select.inserted-select option[value="'+defaultOption+'"]', thisCell).text());
        $('select.inserted-select', thisCell).val(defaultOption);
      }
    });
 
    // Clean-up styles
    $('select.inserted-select', thisQuestion).css({
      'max-width': '100%'
    });
    $('input:text', thisQuestion).css({
      'position': 'absolute',
      'left': '-9999em'
    });
  });
</script>

I don't think so. In this case, the (hidden) text inputs are populated with the dropdown option text, not its value.

So, selecting "None" loads the input with "None" so it is not empty on returning to the page.

Thank you very much. It works not only in the MWE above but also in my productive survey.

Regards.
