Left question numbers blank, but "." shows up in place in preview. How do I get rid of the periods? | XM Community

I left the question numbers blank, hoping to have no question numbers in the survey.
!

In preview, however, I don't get blanks. There are periods in place of the blanks. How can I get rid of them?

hi @SLEE

this is a setting in the 'survey options' in the survey platform.

all you need to do is jump into the survey options and un-check the box for 'Show Question Numbers'.

then save the options and publish.

thanks

Thank you Ben. What do I have to do if I want to disable 'Show Question Numbers' just for these two questions, but want to show the numbers for the others?

Paste the below code in the JS of both questions:

`jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" .ExportTag").hide();`
Thank you again! 🙂

 how do I make the question numbers box blank? hoping to have no question numbers for my first question in the survey

If you leave question number box blank, on "preview" you get to see a "." in place of question number. Instead, give a label to the question and add the below code in addOnload function in Javascript.
jQuery('.QuestionText').find('label').css("display","none")

I also need to have a blank box for the first question. When I tried this in 2025, it removed all question numbers from questions on that page. Please send suggestions on how to get the question number to not appear for just the first question

Never mind. This code helped me. I’m pasting it here for future reference to put in the onload: 
jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" .ExportTag").hide();
