I have a multiple choice question with 3 choices. Each choice has a text box. When someone selects a choice, adds something in the text box then changes their mind and selects another choice and adds text, the text from the 1st selection is still visible. I need the text to clear from a previous selection when another selection is made.

Hi there, the QID is not the name you give the question. the best and easiest way to find the QID is to use piped text and then you should see in the editor something like ${q://QID4/SelectedChoicesRecode}. QID4 would be in this example the system QuestionIDBest regardsRudi

Hi there,the below code should delete the other texts of unselected choicesyou need to adopt the QID to your needs and also the numbers in your condition and in the get elementById functionQualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function(){this.questionclick = function(event,element){let selectedChoices = this.getSelectedChoices();if(selectedChoices.include('1') === false){document.getElementById("QR~QID4~1~TEXT").value=''}if(selectedChoices.include('2') === false){document.getElementById("QR~QID4~2~TEXT").value=''}if(selectedChoices.include('3') === false){document.getElementById("QR~QID4~3~TEXT").value=''}}});Best regardsRudi
