Constant sum without prefilled 0 | XM Community
Skip to main content
Dear Community,

I am looking for a way to ask which percentage of purchases was made online with an open box to enter values from 0-100. The box should be followed by the text "% online". With constant sum this text can be added, however there is always a 0 prefilled already so that respondents could just click next. If 0 is a valid value respondents can enter, is there any way to remove the prefilled 0 just showing an empty box?

Or if using a text entry question, is there any way to add the "% online" on the right hand of the entry box?
hi @cloof,



Add below code in Onload function of javascript:



jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" li input[type=text]").val("");
Awesome!

Thank you very much 🙂

I want to achieve exactly this, but the code does not seem to work for a constant-sum question type which uses bars instead of text fields only. How can I set up a constant sum question with bars and eliminate the pre-filled zero?
