Making other text entry required

Making other text entry required was created by mrsey
Hi,

I'm running a survey with a mandatory list (radio) question and I have allowed for an "other" response at the end of the list.

If someone selects other, but does not enter any text in the box then the survey accepts their response and allows them to move on.

Is there any way to force some entry in the other text box if that option is selected? I'd like someone to be required to say more if they've selected this option.

.lss file for question is attached.

Thanks,

MS

Hi, in advanced options for the question you have an option 'Other:' comment mandatory. This should do the work.
