Putting questions next to each other

Hi everyone,

Is it possible to make a question appear next to the previous one (instead
of under it). I would like to end up with a list of expenditures with a
choice of currencies next to it, rather than under it. I want it to look
something like this:

expenditure bread: ______ Dollar O / Euro O / Pound O

expenditure milk: ________ Dollar O / Euro O / Pound O

expenditure cheese: ______ Dollar O / Euro O / Pound O

expenditure meat: _______ Dollar O / Euro O / Pound O

etc.

Regards, Thomas

Thomas,

There is no easy way to do this without writing some Java code. One
option is to ask about currency before you get to these prompts. Then
you can use in the label or hint to
remind the user what the currency is.

Hi there, I just run into the same problem as Thomas did a couple of years ago. Had there been any changes to solve this issue? Or do I need to look into Java Rosa (if yes, do you know a nice tutorial)?

We have various questions with all different kinds of units also varying in granularity. Having a starting page where units have to be selected would not be possible though I found it an very elegant solutions when only one unit is needed.

Thanks for any help,

Anne

Hi @AnneSMI

I'm not sure if I understand everything you need but maybe you need something like that?:

Hi @Grzesiek2010, thanks for your quick reply!

As in Thomas example we do collect an amount (integer/decimal) plus need to know the unit (select1). Unfortunately, the list widgets won't solve this as these can only be applied to multiple select1s.

An example:
Yield: ______ Tons (US Short) O / Pounds O / Tonnes O (shown as dropdown)
Field: ______ Hectares O / Acres O / Feddan O (shown as dropdown)

BR, Anne

Ok I see so the answer is: it's still not possible.

Ok, will hopefully find a nice workaround. thanks a lot @Grzesiek2010
