QS : Autre commentaire obligatoire
From LimeSurvey Manual
'Autre :' commentaire obligatoire (other_comment_mandatory)
Description
Elle ne s'applique qu'aux questions obligatoires comportant une option « autre réponse » dans laquelle le participant peut donner une réponse en texte libre (« autre commentaire »).
When this setting is activated and the participant selects the other answer (the "other checkbox" or "other answer in a list"), then he will have to give a comment in the "Other comment" input box in order to proceed to the next page.
Note that this option is not available for Multiple Choice questions because the "Other" checkbox status is not recorded in the database for this question type, only the content being recorded. This means that checking the "other" checkbox is just a visual effect that is only meaningful if the text box is filled in: that is why other_comment_mandatory is assumed to be set for this question type.
Available options
- On
- Off (default)
Example
If activated for a "Multiple options with comments" question and the user enters a value in the left part of the Other answer but doesn't enter text in the Other Comment part, a warning message will be displayed when he tries to proceed to the next page.
