How to change the default message text on 'Force Response'

Is there anyway to change the default message of force response from "Please answer this question" to other customized text in one area?
FR.pngIs it only thru JavaScript? Can someone share the script if possible?
I am afraid that if it is possible, I have to add to all of my questions.

Hi!!

you can do it in the survey options menu. under use custom validation messages and then you select new message...

    Add the below code in header, it will be applicable to all your questions, no need to add at each question,
    Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function()
    {
    jQuery (".ValidationError").html('');
    jQuery (".ValidationError").append("Your custom error message");
    });

      Hi SurajK
      This code applies the change to all the questions which contains validation in the survey. Can I change the error message of the specific question without changing the error message of the other questions in the survey? Any help will be appreciated.

      Sugra - Yes, we can. Please use the above code on the specific question level where you want to change the default error message with custom one.

        We are providing a custom Spanish language option for our survey and would like to custom provide the Spanish version of the error message. Does anyone know if this is possible?
