Label Alignment on Likert Scale in Matrix Table Question (Colspan is Maxed at 7?) | XM Community
Skip to main content

Hi all,
I have an issue with my Labels not lining up properly on my Likert scale in a Matrix table question. I want "Not Important" to be above 1, "Important but Not Critical" to be above 5, and "Critical" to be above 9.
Column Labels Misaligned.pngI have finally identified the problem as being related to the colspan on the labels being limited to 7 (why?!?!) when I need it to be 9 and I figured that out by inspecting my survey preview and editing the following element from this: to this: , which gave me this:
Column Labels Fixed.pngThis looks great, but now I have no idea how to write the code to make my survey change the colspan on my ColumnLabels. I have tried a couple of different things in css in the look and feel part of the survey but none of them did anything so I must be way off. I'm new to coding so any help is appreciated.
Thank you!
Caitlin
