Hi - I have a multi-select question that uses select2: https://select2.org/placeholders But I'm having some trouble doing 3 things: 1) Placeholder. I want to show a default message in the dropdown. I've added `$('select').select2({ placeholder: { id: '-1', // the value of the option text: 'Select an option' } });` into the JS for the question but that's not working. 2) Option groups. I want to have some answer options appearing under multiple bolded category heading, but does optgroup only work in html? How do I add it in JS to a Qualtrics question? 3) Font. By default, the drop down appears in a different font to the rest of the survey text. How do I change this? Am I better off just learning JS...? 😀 thanks Dan

@danpenny,If you expect to use JS (e.g. select2) in your surveys, then you should learn JS.1. Placeholder:```jqObj.select2({ placeholder: "Select an option" });```2. Option groups: put your question in Multiple Answer mode, right click choices and assign to groups. After you have your groups set up, switch question to Multi Select Box.3. Font: Add a style for .select2Dropdown in your Look & Feel CSS.

Thanks very much. Seeing how powerful this is, I should. For now:1) Adding this to the JS for the question doesn't seem to do anything - not sure why, but do you have any ideas?2) Done - thank you.3) I'll read more around this, should be possible with a bit more understanding.Thanks again.Dan
