I have a matrix with the “Others” option with text entry enabled. How do I enable my respondents to deselect the “Others” option if they have made a mistake?Saw a previous forum post with the suggestion of making matrix multi answer and check "Make answer exclusive" for all the scale points.However, I do not know how to make answer exclusive for scale points, I can only do so for statement points.

This JS will allow respondents to deselect radio buttons in a likert matrix:Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function() {qobj = this;jQuery(qobj.questionContainer).find("input[type=radio]").click(function() {var [qr, qid, cid, aid] = this.id.split("~");if(qobj.getSelectedAnswerValue(cid)==aid) qobj.setChoiceAnswerValue(cid,aid,false);});});

However, now I want to “force response” from all statements except for “others” statement. Is there any way to make that possible? If not, my survey cannot go forward unless the “others” statement has been chosen.I do not wish to disable “forced response” as I do want responses from all other statements before the survey can proceed.You can use custom validation. The recodes of the non-Other statements should not be empty.
