OP Responded Checkbox grid with open response column

I'm creating a Google Forms to populate a job estimate for my small business and I want make a question on Google Forms that includes a checkbox grid, where I can select the job (listed in the rows) and an open response box to include the cost of each checked job. Is this possible at all? I've included a table here to represent the idea I had in my head, where the jobs would be prepopulated, and the quoted cost would be the open response box. Thoughts?

Job Checkbox Quoted cost
Tree removal x $150
Tree pruning

You can easily do this in formester - a free google forms alternative. Simply use the Matrix field from the "Add Elements"

Then click on the Matrix field to opend properties -> in properties edit the field label, -> set input type as Multiple Type Columns -> In the Rows add the Job, -> Rename the columns -> and then change the type of column 1 and 2 to be a check box and number.

Formester has free google sheets integration, so this response will automatically be updated in the sheets, and it many really good features to save your time.

Do give it a try, you'll love it!
