Set-up Instructions
Survey Header
Add the ddAutoComplete function to the survey header to make it available to any question in the survey. Go to Look & Feel → General → Header edit → and paste the provided ddAutoComplete function JS:

Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function() { ddAutoComplete(this,{hide:false}); });
