Hello,I am trying to add a 'prefer not to answer' option to a Likert Scale question. I want the 'prefer not to answer' attributed to the original question.Aka:Question: How would you rate your digital literacy?poor fair good very good excellentprefer not to answer

OK, I see. There's not really a built in way to do that in Qualtrics. It's not the most elegant solution, but you could trying setting this up as a side-by-side question, and use custom validation to make sure they only answer the first or second column, but not both.

Is your issue with the visual display of the option, or keeping your analysis clean? If it's not a requirement to set the "Prefer not to answer" option apart from the Likert scale choices, you could add it as the last option in the list, and use the Exclude From Analysis option so it is kept out of the results and reports.
