Others field can't be activated in multiple choice was created by SBind
Hello,
i got the problem, that if i configure a multiple choice question with the 'others' field, this checkbox can't be activated by click. Otherwise it's automatically activated if i enter text in the field behind. Is there a possibility to change this behavior? Maybe that if i click the checkbox the textfield gets active? ('Sonstige' means 'others' in german.)
Version is 2.50+ Build 160430
Thanks,
Steffen

I think this is intended default behavior.
Have a look at the advanced question settings, maybe you can change it there.

I just wondered because the behavior in a radio list is if you click the radio-button it's activated and a lot of our participants don't get how it works.
Is it possible to set some default text for the others field?

You can use CSS to hide that checkbox as Denis does in some templates.I just wondered because the behavior in a radio list is if you click the radio-button it's activated and a lot of our participants don't get how it works.

Use visibility:hidden : it's the best solution.

Because : with your solution :
1 : you hide it from the screen but not from screen reader : screenreader really don't need it (but fixed in last version with aria-hidden=true)
2 : with visibility:hidden : you leave tye place where the input are : the "Other lable" seems at same place than other Sub question. (screnshot)
After a lot of test : a lot of user this it's cleaner like this

I tried to add the following to template.css:
and firebug shows, that it's used, but the checkbox is NOT hidden, any ideas? Seems like the checkbox class of the parent div is the matter...
Code:
.other-checkbox { visibility:hidden; }

You need to hide the pseudo-element too:
Code:
.multiple-opt .other-checkbox { visibility: hidden; } .multiple-opt .checkbox label::before { display: none; }
