Add scripting functionality to Questionnaire Builder

Richard Kirkden
When there are things that Questionnaire Builder cannot do, but which can be important for response quality (e.g. minimum viewing time for a page, minimum number of characters for a text response, disabling copy/paste in a text area), it is necessary to create the questionnaire in Task Builder, but Task Builder 2 cannot be made to scroll (as far as I’m aware), which can also be important for response quality (e.g. having enough screen space to able to view a long section of text and make comments on it in a text area), so the only option is Task Builder 1 (for scrolling in Task Builder 1 see: Gorilla Open Materials> Sheffield EduTech Collections Page > Using CSS to Make Task Screen Scrollable, https://gorilla.sc/openmaterials/53268). But Task Builder 1 pages require landscape mode to load, which is not very suitable for questionnaires (e.g. because of the amount of scrolling that is required to read text; and also it is difficult to type a response because the keyboard obscures most of the text box, and because it is physically more difficult to type with the phone this way around), so participants have to be asked to juggle their phone (landscape mode to load the page, then portrait mode to view and respond). All of this could be avoided if it was possible to write a script for Questionnaire Builder.
