Creating Connected Sliders with Scripting

Sometimes your clients want to collect data in a very specific way. For example, we had a client that needed to collect 4 pieces of numeric data, where each subsequent number was bigger than the one before.

Can that be done in scripting? Absolutely!
Sliders Guide
The brief was very simple.
  1. Have 4 Numeric questions
  2. All Sliders
  3. All to have a range of 0 to 500
  4. Each slider must increment the value by 5
  5. Each slider cannot select a value less than or equal to the previous slider
Our Slider Range Question is perfect for this scenario. It allows you to have a range set on each slider and grouping the questions together makes them look like a continuous single question
Connected Sliders
The tricky part is having them operate together as a single question, so that if you make a selection in one slider the other sliders will cooperate and be "connected". They ideally need to limit what values can be selected, and if an earlier slider is moved the later sliders need to adapt to the new limitations
With scripting, we can create a script to perfectly address this custom scenario. Our support team created a custom script to do the following: -
  1. Adjust the sliders so that a change in one will affect the others
  2. Ensure that no slider can select more than the maximum of 500
  3. Ensure all sliders used increments of 5
  4. Ensure that all data is validated and consistent
