Hello, can anyone provide an example JS of what it would take to move these matrix table answer buttons into the table?

Hi there, if you are trying to have it so that respondents are asked the questions "I prefer my community undertake" as well as "The program I think would be more popular in my community is" for each of the 5 program features, you could could present this as 5 different matrix questions that each address a different program feature. Something like:
HiddenScale_Program Features.pngIf the 2 questions are meant to be about the programs overall, I think how you have it is good.

Ah I see, sounds like you are trying to create buttons in the table that would work the same as selecting the survey question answers. I think that would involve using setChoiceValueByRecodeValue. TomG has an implementation that touches on that in the below thread, changing out what triggers it from the key event to selecting a particular button should work.

Alternatively, you could make the whole question look more like its contained within a table by adding a border around the question container, using the below CSS
#Questions{
border: 1px solid black;
}
