Hello,
In my survey, I have a dynamic matrix named SLOs that contains three columns; one of them, named SLO, I want to be populated with a placeholder containing the text SLO {current index}. So for example if I had three rows in my dynamic matrix all three would have a placeholder corresponding to their position in the matrix:
SLO 1
SLO 2
SLO 3
Is this possible?
Thank you.
Hello,
Yes, it is possible by using survey.onMatrixCellCreated event.
You can make it work for your survey only:
JavaScriptsurvey.onMatrixCellCreated.add((sender, options) => {
if(options.column.name === "SLO") {
options.cellQuestion.placeHolder = options.column.title + " "
+ (options.question.visibleRows.indexOf(options.row) + 1).toString();
}
});
You can go further and make it generic by introducing the following property into column:
JavaScriptSurvey.Serializer.addProperty("matrixdropdowncolumn", {
name: "generatePlaceholder", choices: ["none", "increment"],
category: "general",
visibleIf: (obj) => {
if(!obj || !obj.colOwner) return false;
return obj.cellType === "text" || obj.cellType === "default" && obj.colOwner.cellType === "text";}
});
And the use it as the following:
JavaScriptsurvey.onMatrixCellCreated.add((sender, options) => {
if(options.column.generatePlaceholder === "increment") {
options.cellQuestion.placeHolder = options.column.title + " "
+ (options.question.visibleRows.indexOf(options.row) + 1).toString();
}
});
Here is the working example.
Thank you,
