If you use an equation to conditionally set Q1, you cannot use the value of Q1 in another conditional setting equation on the next page. It seems to return null.

(this might be seen as a bug)

I'm unsure ;) , but i need a complet lss showing exact issue.

Here is a basic survey. The question value assignment does not work going forwards but does work going backwards.

Forward :
step1 (validation of current group) : 1st equation do Q1_SQ001= "" because Q1_SQ002 is empty
step2 (validation of next group) : 2nd equation do Q1_SQ002= "" because Q1_SQ001 is empty

Backward:
2nd equation didn't happen (we don't validate current group)
step2 (validation of previous group) : 1st equation do Q1_SQ001=Q1_SQ002 because Q1_SQ002 is empty *

I really think it's not an issue :)
And clearly :
step1 from forward happen

Possible solution : use more group ?

PS : i think usage of isDoneQ1 and isDoneQ2 can do the trick too.
PS2 : see wityh doneQ2 : partial fix. The issue is more «What is the condition to update (or not) Q1»

Yes, but that should (I think) happen on page load, not after I manually set Q1. I check the box so Q1_SQ001== "Y" and that should override the equation and let the second equation set Q2.

No?

No,

Equation is done on page load and at page validation (move next) , it's better like this (we have issue some year ago).

If you want not updated : i think you can use isDoneQ1 var to don't update current value.

Thank you very much! It worked!

What happens if I have to bind a lot of questions, instad of copying and pasting the code for each question? Is there a way like that?

Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
  $(document).ready(function() {
    var checkedState = false;
    if('{<ARRAY_OF_QUESTIONS>}' == 'Y') {
      checkedState = true;
    }
    $('#answer{SGQ}<ARRAY_OF_QUESTIONS>).prop('checked', checkedState).trigger('change');
  });
</script>


Example:

G1Q1
> A
> B
> C
...
Z

G2Q1
> A
> B
> C
...
> Z



Thanks!
- Nick
