SurveyGizmo's CustomScript Action now supports the LUA programming language.
Legacy Custom Scripting Language Deprecation Plans
New accounts (created after October 29, 2018) will only have the option to use Lua in scripts.
As of October 29, 2018 Custom Scripting Actions will default to Lua as the scripting type in the Custom Scripting Action for accounts created before this date. You will be able to switch to the Legacy Custom Scripting; though we highly encourage using Lua.
In the long term, Legacy Custom Scripting Actions will be switched to read-only. Read-only scripts will continue to function; you will just be prevented from editing. The exact date on this is to be determined; we will send notifications well ahead of time.
While SurveyGizmo is one of the most flexible survey tools around, we get requests for customizations that are not available out of the box. This is where JavaScript and Custom Scripting can save the day. If you have scripting chops you can use the JavaScript action or the Custom Scripting action to achieve the survey of your dreams.
While we have a Ranking Grid question that automatically validates for a single answer per column there are some scenarios where you might wish to apply this type of validation to a Radio Button Grid question.
For example, in a Ranking Grid question the column headers are automatically created based on the number of rows (items to be ranked). So, if you have seven rows, the column headers will be automatically created as 1-7. Unfortunately, there is not a way to customize this in a Ranking Grid question.
Add a survey with this script and setup to your account.
The Script and Setup
Start by building out your Radio Button Grid question. Once you've added your question title, row and column headers head over to the Layout tab and scroll to the CSS Class Name field and enter the following class name: onePerColumn.
Next, add a JavaScript action to the same page and paste the below JavaScript and click Save Action.
//Relies on a CSS class name onePerColumn being applied to the table.
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".onePerColumn :radio").change(function(){
var col = $(this).attr("value");
$(".onePerColumn :radio[value='" + col + "']:checked").not(this).each(function(){
$(this).prop('checked',false);
});
});
});
Now, record a few test responses and make sure your validation works as it should!
