Hi!
Is there anyone who can help me?
Can I add an option "other" to an "array" question type?
I could add it manually baut there is no space for the open answer...
Thanks!

Hi marcoat. In the past, I have just set a condition to a free-text question below it and set to only appear if "other" is selected.

Not sure you can do it the way you're think of.. Unless you mess around with the CSS. I think creating "input#answer19733X208X1372f-6{}" in template.css would get you to the property of each individual option in your array (obviously you have to replace "19733" "208" "1372" and "f-6" with your own questions codes) and then you MIGHT be able to find how to make a free-text box using css on the web...

Easier to go with option 1 I'd say though

Hi,

I allways use another question for other in array question type.
It's more easy to fill and understand.

You can use some jquery to move the question in th for answertext in table. But did this really needed ?

This question has been asked many times so I am adding a comment for others searching for the same topic: There are two options:
1. You can use JavaScript, there are several solutions available at the forum by user tpartner.
2. You can use the "ArrayWithOtherFreeText" plugin if you are using Limesurvey version 3.x or later:  survey-consulting.com/product/array-with...t-limesurvey-plugin/
