I tried various Javascript and Jquery solutions but they don't seem work, or cause errors.

The goal is to not allow the user to change their answer after they select. Has anyone been successful with this?

Form is a step by step Quiz with radio as buttons.

Some attempts that seem to work but then break;

Jquery  (function($) {
$(':radio').change(function(){
$(':radio').not(this).prop("disabled", true);
});
})( jQuery ); Causes error on "start again" Thanks

You're not using a proper selector. Use this: $('input[name="item_meta[XXX]"').prop("disabled", true). Change XXX to the ID of the radio field.

Thank you Victor, but I was looking for a generalized solution as this needs to be applied to all the quiz questions. Additionally this form will be duplicated and reused by the client many times over, so it has to be a generalized solution. I will try some sort of loop to target the ID's, but need to find a way to make it duplicatable without it failing.

I need to work on this more, as even a specific ID causes the "next" button to fail, and refresh the same question, with an error that it is blank. Console does not show a JS error, so will need further exploration.

IMO this should be a built in functionality for Quiz. I will add this as a Feature Request, but it probably won't help me for this project.
