Summary: add a comments box to each question

Initial Comment:
Would like to add a comments box, just a textarea, for each 
question.  So regardless of the question format, the 
respondent would be able to type in comments further 
explaining or qualifying his or her answer.

When creating or editing a question, you currently have 
options:

Length....Precision....Required?

maybe add an bool option after Required?.....Comments?

If Comments? dropdown was selected "yes", then question 
would have a textarea titled "Comments" next to question.

Any ideas on how to implement appreciated.  Whip-arse app 
yall are building here.

thanks,
Winston

I have a one-off implementation for this in my own environment.  I'm taking
on this ticket to generalize this functionality.

Winston

Could you please post the CSS that you used in this
workaround - I'd be really interested to see your solution
(however unelegant you find it!).

Thanks in advance

Robin

our quick fix was to hide the generated number through css and 
use the 'field name' field to tie the comments box (essay) to the 
relevant question.  this also worked for multi-part questions which 
the client wanted to show as the same question.

not elegant, but done.  will report how it works.  results are being 
mapped to access for a custom generated report in word.

Yes, we're using !other. Great feature, but does not accommodate 
every question.  Effectively, we need to accept comments on 
every question, even, for instance, when someone chooses and 
fills out the "other" option.

Have you looked at the !other option?  That allows a comment
field for radio/checkbox question types.
