Or, as an alternative you could also add a choice stating REFUSED TO RESPONSE. Doing so maybe you should be able to complete your survey with the REFUSED TO RESPONSE for the remaining questions and then save it without any issue.

puedo cambiar the mandatory response de una pregunta en validation code con un script? por ejemplo: if((${CA02}=’2’),${CA03} required=“true”,required=“false”)

Can I change the mandatory response of a question in validation code with a script? for example: if (($ {CA02} = ’2’), $ {CA03} required = “true”, required = “false”)

por supuesto. en la columna “required”:
