Can I INSERTAN a value from Other (please, sepecify) text field? was created by Adrien12345
(I am on Limesurvey Version 3.21.6+200121)

Hi everyone !

So I have question Q5 that is a multiple answer question with an "other, please specify" option.
I would like to insert the answer from this question into Q6 question text.
So I use the fonction INSERTANS as follow:

Q6 question text + {INSERTANS:875715X735X71091} {INSERTANS:875715X735X71092} {INSERTANS:875715X735X7109other}

It works with the predefined answers, but not with the "other, please specify" answer.

with {INSERTANS:875715X735X7109other}, I just get "Other" instead of the text.

Can someone help me with this ?

Kind regards,
Adrien

Try an Expression Manager variable:

Code:
{Q5_other}

Or:

Code:
{Q5_other.shown}

Instead of using the INSERTANS stuff, just use Expression Manager

{list(Q1_SQ001.shown,Q1_SQ002.shown,Q1_SQ003.shown,Q1_SQ004.shown,Q1_SQ005.shown,Q1_other)}



Or even shorter:
{list(that.Q1.sq_SQ.shown,Q1_other)} if your subquestions are default coded "SQxxx". Otherwise adapt.

Read about "that" here:
