Provide optional question code

[vheinitz]

For automatic answer-processing it is useful to have a question code determined by user.

Do you mean an additional optional text field in the question builder? Instead, maybe there should be a new option in the mwFormBuilder directive (like customQuestionSelects option) , eg:

options = {customQuestionFields:  [
   {
       type: 'text', // input type
       key: "code", // question object property name to set
       label: 'Code', 
    }
]}

This way it could be possible to add any custom input field to the question builder.

That would be even better! Would it be possible to add many custom fields? Than it would solve my second issue. I consider to make a questionnaire for a doctor. Where possible, the user should click and select. However, if for example one option is missing, or the categorical answer doesn't fit, or needs a comment, I would let the user(patient) write some explanatory text.

Yes, it would support defining list of custom fields available in question builder (Available for the survey creator, not respondent). But, if I understand your second issue correctly, you also want possibility to define (by user - survey creator) additional explanatory field, which would be then available to fill by a survey respondent in the question viewer?

Now I realise, the custom fields are "read-only" - ony for displaying/passing additional information, not for filling by survey respondent :-(

Yes. I thought of a long-text field available for all questions, an a check-box for the survey-creator for displaying or hiding this text-input box where sensable while answering the questions. Some answers like age, name, gender, etc don't need much explanation. So the explanation text-area should be hidden. Actually, this could be accomplished by splitting a question into 2 question: 1)"Select from list (will get the chance to add more information)" 2)"Add more information, if available". So it is "nice-to-have"
