Yes, you'll do it the same way. So under 'Custom Validation', create a logic set (with AND) each for Thing1, Thing2, Thing3 with the available options being "Serious Barrier" Is Selected OR "Somewhat of a Barrier" Is Selected OR...etc.

How do I do this?

Let me know if that doesn't make sense. I can build it out and show you if it doesn't.

+11+2Hi All. I have the same issue. However, while I feel that I have followed the approach suggested, it doesn't seem to achieve the outcome I want. If I uncheck the Force Response box, none of the options (12 different types of psychological treatment, with choices on a 5-point Likert scale) requires a response, but if I check the Force Response box all of the options, including three at the end, which display an "Other" text box allowing users to describe another treatment they would use (and which I want to be optional), require a response despite Custom Validation being in place. A screenshot of the last lines of my customised validation appears below. The part that can't be seen follows the same logic. Suggestions anyone? Thanks
Hi AndrewS :
I've been stuck on this for the last few days for a survey I am working on, and finally figured it out.
I know this is a really late response but your AND statements need to be moved to another logic set (right click on the AND and select that option). The screen should look like the first screenshot in thread, where the AND is out and above the next set of statements to evaluate.
You will also need to turn off Force Response, because it seems like if you have that on, it overrides whatever you have in custom validation.
That should resolve the issue you have.
I have the same question and im sorry but i don't understand the explanation of the logic i need to build. I want them to pick one of the likert responses for everything but not be forced to if Other hasn't been selected. I don't understand the AND statements i need to build to achieve this? please help!!!!
