Read only in constant sum grid with default choices
Hello!
I’m trying to create a constant sum grid question where previous choices are shown in the first column and would not be editable. I’m using default choices to display the previous responses. None of the the other similar community posts have helped. My variables are named:
QR~QID4~1~1
QR~QID4~2~1
QR~QID4~3~1
QR~QID4~4~1
Thanks!

@zacks Can you elaborate this use case?
At @Deepak on one screen you’d ask their allocation of drug prescriptions using a constant sum. You would then introduce them to a new durg and ask for their new allocation. I’d want to show their previous allocation as a reference, but it shouldn’t be editable.
@zacks
On this question you can add a javascript to disable the input boxes on load as mentioned below.
var n= jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" .c4 input").length; for (let i=0;i<n;i++){jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" .c4 input").eq(i).prop('disabled',true);}
Hope it helps!
That worked, thank you @Deepak!
hi @Deepak i have similar issue and i tried the code you sent but it did not work.
Am i supposed to edit anything to fit my survey or this is just a custom code?
Please help me out
@Bee
Can you share how have you included it?
Hi, so i have no knowledge and experience with java script. so this is what i did;
on the constant sum question grid (in the survey), I went to JavaScript and pasted the codes there. Below is an screenshot. I would appreciate it if you are very thorough with your explanation/response, i have no prior knowledge in JavaScript. Thank You.

Are you sure you’re using same matrix- constant sum question?
question type: Constant sum
answer type: choices
I dont know if that is what you are asking but i hope it answered your question. Please help me out
Yes, that’s the error the original question asked is about matrix type question.
Sorry about that, i didn’t realize it. So how do i solve my issue in that format please?
The original question disables the entire column what are you looking for here can you describe?
So to explain. My form is a survey here respondents will enter scores in text entry box. At the end of the questions, they will see a summary of the scores they entered in the constant sum display. So i created the constant sum question and inserted the score entries from the text boxes using default choices.
Now i want to disable the text boxes in the constant sum such that if they want to make changes to their scores they will have to go back to the text entry where they entered the score instead of editing the score in the constant sum box.
