Hello, I'd like to create a survey that works like this.

A1. Please enter the names of the household members (multiple text input)
Person 1: [Textbox]
Person 2: [Textbox]
Person 3: [Textbox]
...

Person 10: [Textbox]


B1. Please select which HH member you would like to interview (Radio list)

• Name of person 1 entered from A1
• Name of person 2 entered from A1
• ...
• Name of person 10 entered from A1

Please let me know if this is possible. Thanks.

LimeSurvey is currently lacking answer relevance (multichoice answers are subquestions, which already have sub-question-relevance). You could use a multi-choice question with a answer limit of 1 (which would be the same as a radio button question) instead.

Displaying the entered text in a different question is not the problem.

There might be other workarounds, but the answer-relevance is overdue.

Hi jelo, thanks for the workaround. That works great for me. I have another question if you don't mind.

So after the user selects the member he wants to interview (from the multiple choice), I want to get and store that name. Provided that my variables are coded like this

A1:
PERSON
01 (subquestion)
02
...

B1:
SELECTEDPERSON
01 (subquestion - multiple choice)
02 (subquestion - multiple choice)
..

Then, to get the name of the selected person, I'd assume that the syntax would be like this {PERSON_{SELECTEDPERSON}}

However, the nesting of variables obviously didn't work for me. So, is there like an eval function in Limesurvey?

Start reading from here:
www.limesurvey.org/manual/Expression_Man...#Access_to_Variables

Implemented functions in ExpressScript (still called Express_Manager):
www.limesurvey.org/manual/Expression_Man...#Access_to_Functions

You can use nested IF statements to display the value from the first question. So, given the question and sub-question codes indicated above, something like this (line-breaks inserted for clarity):

Regarding using a multiple-choice question with maximum answers of 1 to replicate a radio question, you can insert this script in the question source to automatically uncheck other options as options are checked.


Here is a small sample survey incorporating both of these concepts:

Tony, since I forgot to ask the thread-starter what LS version is in use, we should add that your nice workaround is for LS 3.X.

That answer-relevance is not available in LS3 and LS4 as well, is a pity (or more).

Answer option relevance now!

Thanks, tpartner. I was able to do that with nested ifs.
