Custom Validation on Side-by-Side | XM Community
Skip to main content
Hi all,
I'm trying to apply custom validation to the below side-by-side table so that for each row, the option selected in column one cannot be the same as column two. (i.e. the primary and secondary artform cannot be the same)

!

I would have thought this was fairly straightforward, so have created the below custom validation using ${q://QID61%232/SelectedAnswerRecode/1} as the reference value for "does not equal", adjusting the last number for each row.

!

However, this correctly validates the top row, but none of the others.

I've scoured the validation for any obvious errors that I know of. I'm wondering if the reference values i'm using are incorrect?
How would you all go about this?
Any advice would be much appreciated.

Many thanks!
I had a similar problem to this and I think I came to the conclusion that side-by-sides validate by column. I could be wrong or I could have been doing it wrong to begin with but I ended up having to code my own validation in JavaScript.
