while we wait, can you share the use cases? You've got me curious about how you're thinking of the use for it? And how you're using it (not implementing)...

@MartyK

The most common use case I have seen is people wanting to display a list of selected options in a unique way. For instance instead of Dog, Cat, Bird, Fish; perhaps you want it to display as:



Dog

Cat

Bird

Fish



As for how to achieve this, first pip your text in to a div or span html tag with the class "CommaReplacement", for example:



`Your answers are: <div class='CommaReplacement'>${q://QID1/ChoiceGroup/SelectedChoices}</div>`



Then, add the following JavaScript to your questions JavaScript editor, updating the newDelimiter to your desired effect:



Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function()

{

var textElements = this.questionContainer.select('.CommaReplacement');

var newDelimiter = "<br>"



for(var i = 0; i<textElements.length; i++){

var temp = textElements[i].innerHTML;

console.log(temp);

temp = temp.replace(new RegExp(", ", 'g'), newDelimiter);

console.log(temp);

textElements[i].innerHTML = temp;

}



});





This will also work with multiple "CommaReplacement" tags in the same question. However it will only affect the current question.



I have attached a QSF demo for this.

Hello, what should I do if I want to change only the commas in the piped text? I have attempted this method and it works only if I don't have other commas in the text. When I attempted to put the div around only the piped text, there is a space between the rest of the actual text. Please help me.

---

@Kai_Chizuru You can do exactly what you mentioned except instead of placing the piped text in a div, place it in a <span> using the same class name!

@AnthonyR - I tried your instructions for the e-mail trigger, however, I still get the horizontal list with the commas. Any ideas?

Hello,
Thanks so much for including this. It's working great for my survey. I have a question asking the user to select what they own among a long list of assets/debts. Then, on the follow-up question, I display all the assets/debts they indicated they own.
Is there a way to add a bullet in front of each of the selected options where I'm piping them?
So, in your example above, you would display:

• Dog


• Cat


• Bird


• Fish

Thanks!

Hello @Kai_Chizuru 
How did you solve this issue? I have the same problem, and I would like the comma to separate each option. For example: if a) dog,cat b) cat, dog
I want the result to be:
-dog, cat
-cat, dog
