Adding static text to text box

chawk
You can include the below after your if logic when the box is shown. Change this with appropriate id.
jQuery(this).attr("placeholder", "Describe your role");
Hope it helps!

TomG would you know?

Deepak what would the ID be? Or where could I find that?

And where would I place that string of code you sent in the code? It is not working for me., I know you said after IF but where exactly?

Thanks for your help!

Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function()
{
/*Place your JavaScript here to run when the page loads*/

});

Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function()
{

var QID= this.questionId;
   jQuery("#" + QID + " .InputText ").hide();
   jQuery("#" + QID + " input[type='checkbox']").each(function(){

      if(jQuery(this).prop("checked") == true)
      {
          var v1 = jQuery(this).attr("id");
       jQuery("[id*='"+v1+"~TEXT']").show();
        }
      else
      {
      var v1 = jQuery(this).attr("id");
      jQuery("[id*='"+v1+"~TEXT']").val('');
      jQuery("[id*='"+v1+"~TEXT']").hide();
     }    
   });


 jQuery("#" + QID + " .Selection ").on("click change",function(){

    jQuery("#" + QID + " input[type='checkbox']").each(function(){

   });



});





Use the above code.
Hope it helps!

Thank you Deepak ! That worked

Deepak how would I add static text to a normal text entry question? No display logic. Static text would say "please enter your suggestions here"

chawk
You can use the placeholder attribute:
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function() {
  var PLACEHOLDER = 'please enter your suggestions here';
  jQuery('#QR\\\\~' + this.questionId).attr('placeholder', PLACEHOLDER);
});
Hope it helps!
