Context: I'm using javascript (coded by someone else!) in one of my questions and it's currently doing the following:

1. It will pre-select/pre-code a choice if they selected recode value 1 OR 3 in a previous question (QID20, QID284, and QID283)and then the pre-selected choice will also be hidden on the page screen

2. Then, the respondent is shown any choice that was not pre-coded (QID15-16-label, QID15-17-label and/or QID15-18-label) AND the choice "none of these" which is exclusive BUT cannot be set to be exclusive on the survey question page because of the pre-coded answers. As such, the javacript on bottom is supposed to make "none" (QID15-19-label) exclusive by unclicking it IF an answer choice that is not pre-coded/hidden is selected



Question/Problem: Everything works fine when taking the survey/testing the survey. However, when I review the data, a choice will still be recorded if it was clicked and then unclicked. For example, if QID15-16-label is pre-coded and hidden and then I click on "none" (QID15-19-label) but then click on QID15-17-label -> QID15-19-label will be unclicked (doesn't have a check mark) and only QID15-17-label will be checked off BUT in the data output I see that the respondent's recorded answer for this question is QID15-16-label, QID15-17-label , and QID15-19-label... I should not be seeing QID15-19-label as a recorded value for this question... Looks like there should be some logic to also make sure that a de-selected choice is NOT recorded



(Please help :s )
