| How to achieve a similar output with scales and other question types and how to provide a dropdown selection inside another question is described here. SoSciSurvey provides the PHP-function ''[[:en:create:functions:prepare_input|prepare_input()]]'' to achieve this. We will guide you through using this function using the following example. | How to achieve a similar output with scales and other question types and how to provide a dropdown selection inside another question is described here.

| Technically, the input field that is to be added has to be prepared with ''prepare_input()''. In order to place the input field correctly, SoSciSurvey needs a placedholder amongst the original question's items. See further down for details. | Technically, the input field that is to be added has to be prepared with ''prepare_input()''.

| | First, the inputs to be used have to be created in the **list of questions**. That means you create a new question, for example a text input question. Second, a placeholder is created, consisting of ''%input:'', the ID of the question or item to be used (e.g., the ID of the text input field that you have just created), and finished by a ''%''. Insert this palceholder whereever the input shall appear. |

| Create the superior question (ZE01) that will contain the input fields. The example above uses the //type// "Scale (extremes labeled)". | Create the question ZE01 with //type// "text input". In this question, an item is added automatically, having the ID ZE01_01. For text inputs, it is useful to set their width -- in this example 120 pixels. The item text will not show up, later. However set one, because it will be used for the variable lable in the data set. |

| Create another question ZE02 with the //type// "Text input". Add one item. It is advisable to add a field width -- This example uses 100 pixels. | |
| There is no need to add neither a question nor a "text in front of the input field" although the "text in front" will be used as a variable label in the data export file. | |
