I'd like to show a subquestion of a matrix in the text of the following question if it's selected with answer "4" :

1. Q1: "Blablabla bla"
Subq1 A1 A2 A3 A4
Subq2 A1 A2 A3 A4
Subq3 A1 A2 A3 A4

2. Q2: "How often do you use Subq1?"


I tried to do that by using

but it won't work that way... What am I doing wrong?

First of all, what is not working? What is the outcome?

Then there is one big problem with your approach. What happens if they do not answer Subq1 with A4? Then you have a question that just says "How often do you use?". That's it.

So I would do another approach: Create a question that says "How often do you use Subq1?" and then would use a relevance equation to show the question if Suq1 == A4

Played a little around with this and seems like .question can't be referenced at this particular position. You will probably have to write it out (but as limesurvey doesn't allow looping, this shouldn't be a big deal anyway to "hard code" this.

Attached a little survey where I played around with this a little.

I would go for hiding the question with relevance equation anyway, because otherwise you would have a little ugly question that doesn't make sense anyway, if the person doesn't respond this particular answer.

For me it's seems OK, i already use this system a lot.

Can you show a screenshot of the survey logic file ? Or send a little lss file with only this 2 question (i don't want a big survey, only this 2 question).

Hi Denis,

To me it look alright as well, so I started to play around a bit.

What I found out is that within the if loop, you can't use the .question at this particular position.

You could use just Q1_Subq1 just fine and it would show A4 when you mark A4, so the reference is correct. but when you put Q1_Subq1.question, nothing happens.

First, thanks to all of you for your input and effort!

I tried to simplify my problem in my description yesterday. Of course I've implemented a relevance equation to avoid the partial question if nothing is selected in the question before and also an extended if-then-else-logic to show more than one .question-part if appropriate.

Here is a screenshot of the survey logic file and the .lss-file containing the 2 questions.
Hope that helps...

Thanks,
chocodon
