I don't know if is clear from the title, but what I want to say is ( I do an example is better).
Immagine to have this item: WHAT'S YOUR DOG'S NAME?
the answer: BOBBY
Now what I want is that in base of the answer (BOBBY) I have the possibility to have this name (BOBBY) in the following questions.
E.g.
Question: SO YOU SAID THAT YOUR DOG'S NAME IS BOBBY.
Let's assume the question code for your question is "dogname", then you can use {dogname} and it should give you the answer the respondent has given to the question.

Provide your LS version and where it is installed (own server, uni/employer, SaaS hosting, etc.).
Always provide a LSS file (not LSQ or LSG).
