I wish to do a survey on hobbies, and preferences for items within hobbies

Thus somebody might be interested in sailing, and within sailing dingy, yacht, lake sailing, Ocean sailing, Optimist, ...

Or Photography somebody might be interested into Portrait, Butterflies, Safari, Models, Architecture, ...


The main point is this is a major list. You probably have about 50 serious hobbies, with 3-10 subanswers possible per hobby. So I would as first question put in a pick 5 out of the 50, and then in the 2nd group would like to filter for the five given hobbies, and then ask for preferences on the subitems.

I would probably keep it simple, Coding it as X01, X02, ... and then code the responses as X01_01, X01_02, and putting these in also as answers until I find other items to include as time goes by.

But the main question is, how do I do the Piping / cascadation.

have 1 big question with 50 options in group one 50 different questions in Group and then 50 individual questions in Group 2, of which I hide 45 per logic ? I am aware that for this sort of questioning, there will be some pain involved in the coding, just wondering how much ...

So, first you want to select 5 out of the 50 main hobbies?
Then you want to select some subgroups of these 5 selected hobbies?

There are many ways to do.

1. 2 level multiple question (with some javascript)





2. The same without javascript (only subquestion relevance; the sub-hobbies are only displayed if the main hobby is selected)


3. The two question solution with subquestion relevance

Here you should insert headers between the main hobby groups.

Something you prefer?

Here with the mentioned headers

The second with header is perfect. First mark, and then if subquestions exist, mark the subquestions.

I don't like programming, A.) because I cannot do it, and B.) because it usually introduces more problems than it solves unless you really know what you are doing.


So I will try to replicate that tomorrow. Many thanks !
