How to make sub-questions from a question? was created by ymca
Hi,

I have a question with answers of "yes" and "no".
When a user choose "yes" I want him to get/see another question with some answers.
After he answer that question he will get 3 more questions one after another like this:
Code:
1. did you? a. no b. yes are you? a. maybe b. sure c. probably is it ok? a. maybe b. sure c. probably d. not sure will you? a. maybe b. i can try
I've seen this but I don't understand how to make it work:

Hi,
what you show is a simple cascade of single punched questions, displayed one after the other by relevance.
Q1 (YES/NO)
Q2: Q1==YES
Q3: !is_empty(Q2)
Q4: !is_empty(Q3)

FYI:
There is a solution to display levelled multipunch questions, meaning the next level is displayed after selecting an option.

The first two questions in the example use the subquestion codes to define the level, the third question the position.

And I do not see any relevance of the link you show.

Thanks.

I see that it's a "multiple choice" and I need it to be "radio buttons" so that only 1 answer will be chosen.

You will need to break it into several questions - you cannot select more than one radio in a single question.

I know that.
This was just to show you something, if some day you are going to create a question like this.

And as we told you, you have to split it.
Easy, with relevance as I explained.

This is so confusing to me :unsure: (just a couple of hours ago I saw the "tree like numbers SQ1, SQ11...).
I've tried to make it with a tree but it gave me an error.

For the first question I do need "one radio in a single question".
this is my tree (I think this is the most complex part in the survey):
Code:
Q09: A01: no (user who chooses this answer needs to jumps to "Q019") A02: yes (has 4 questions) A1: (user who chooses this answer needs to jumps to "Q010") A2: (user who chooses this answer needs to jumps to "Q010") A3: this answer has 4 questions (after he finishes to fill them, the survey will end for him) Q1: this question has 15 answers Q2: this question has 9 answers (multiple choice) SA1: SA2: SA3: SA4: SA5: SA6: this answer has 5 answers (multiple choice) SA7: SA8: SA9: Q3: this question has 18 answers (multiple choice) Q4: this question has 2 answers (radio buttons) SA11: SA12: this answer has the same 18 answers (multiple choice) as in "Q3" A4: this question has 2 answers (radio buttons)(after he finishes to fill them, the survey will end for him) SA111: SA112: this answer has the same questions and answers as in "A3" (I will also need to use the "Q3" and "Q4" questions with their answers, later in the survey for other people that in "Q09" answered "A01" (here I guess LimeSurvey doesn't reuse the question so we need to use the "label set"?))

To bw honest, You confued us.
You do not want one levelled question.
What you want to do is simple branching

Q09: Yes/No
Axxx: relevance: Q09==Y, answer options "A1","A2","A3","A4"
Q1: relevance: Axxx=="A3"
Q2: relevance: Axxx=="A3"
SA6: relevance: Q2_SA6=="Y"
Q3: relevance: Axxx=="A3"
Q4: relevance: Axxx=="A3"
...

Q10: relevance: Axxx="A1" or Axxx="A2"
...

Now your homework is to translate your "tree" into a one-dimensional routing.

So sorry.
I'm confused myself, didn't know what option to use in the system for that so I wrote all so I'll be the most clear I can be.
I'ts so simple when the survey is in front of me in the word document.
Is there a tutorial for doing the relevance thing?
I feel like you giving me keys but I don't know what vehicle to use.

Unfortunately the link to the sample surveys seems to be broken.

But question or group relevance is quite easy.

In each question you see a field "condition". (and also in groups)
Here you enter the condition, when a question is displayed.
By default this value is always "1", meaning "TRUE", so the question is displayed.
E.g. if you enter Q1==1, this question is only displayed if the respondents selected code 1 in question Q1.

So create your survey, and if there are more questions, don't hesitate to ask; but attach a lss export of it, that we can see your tries and maybe your errors..

What do you mean by that?
Instead of creating all of Q09 Q&A's in 1 column, I need to split them to only questions with 1 level of answers and connect all of them with the "relevance"?

Or can I create 1 question (I must choose "multiple choice type:M"?) and then all of my tree with the "relevance" in the "quick add" button?

For example instead of this:
Code:
(list radio type:L) Q1: Where did it happen? SQ1:• In my country (link country from "place of residence" question) SQ2:• In another country SQ11:o List of countries (can I make here "list dropdown type:!"?)

I need to make it like this?
Code:
(list radio type:L) Q1:Where did it happen? A1:• In my country (link country from "place of residence" question) A2:• In another country add a new question: Q2:List of countries (list dropdown type:!)(relevance if user chose "A2") answers will be the countries names
Also, do I need "Assessment value" for linking the country the user chose in the start of the survey so it will appear in "SQ1" or "A1"?
Because I didn't see "relevance" for answers, just for questions.

(list radio type:L)
Q1:Where did it happen?

A1:• In my country (link country from "place of residence" question)
A2:• In another country
add a new question:
Q2:List of countries (list dropdown type:!)(relevance if user chose "A2")
answers will be the countries names

This is the best way, without a lot of coding later.
Or you could ask the "Other country as the "open" option, where the respondent enters the country. Here you have to code later, because of different wording, and so on.

Also, do I need "Assessment value"

This is something quite different and not needed.
Read the manual about it.
By the way: Did you ever read it?

Or can I create 1 question (I must choose "multiple choice type:M"?) and then all of my tree with the "relevance" in the "quick add" button?

Sorry, but this I do not answer again


And now we wait for your prototype; then you may ask more.

I read things that I think will help me fix the problem.

I guess I'm a "bit" problematic from that... ;)
I'll do what I think I understood.
Thanks.

Note:
made 2 multiple choice questions.
The first was saved OK.
The second had error. Gave it numbers in condition boxes and then I was able to save.

Didn't work.
Still getting the error
Code:
Object creation failed, couldn't save. ERRORS: Array ([title] => Array ([0] => question codes must be unique)
