Hi all,

I am searching and trying for two days now, but I am getting more and more confused. What I am trying to do is to use the answers from a previous array in a new array. This is so vaguely described, I will try to explain:

There is an array shown in a survey, where the subquestions are SQ1 .. SQ5. The answer options are AO1 and AO2 (but not "yes" and "no", so I cannot use the yes/no question type).

What I am trying to achieve is to get another array question to only show the subquestions from the previous array question, when the answer option AO1 is selected.

I can do quite a lot of other things, but I cannot get it done. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance, Haap

You will need to use JavaScript for "column-specific" filtering. Have a look at this post - www.limesurvey.org/en/forum/can-i-do-thi...-with-options#102599 .

Tony, thanks for your reply. I will go and fiddle around with that.

Yet another question arose: looking at the Expression Manager Examples I read that there is a subquestion relevance equation possibility. Looking and the example survey question logic ( screenshot ) I see it is in the logic file. But where am I to input the equation. I am searching for the option, but it's driving me nuts

I read that there is a subquestion relevance equation possibility

Where do you see that?

My bad, I inserted the wrong URL. As far as I understand, that's what it says here
Edit: reading it over again, it concerns something completely different: validation instead of relevance. However, I am still wondering where you can input the subquestion relevance as shown in the sample survey (see below).

In addition to that: in the screenshot from the examples ( question logic there is a different relevance equation visible for each subquestion. Even when running the example survey on my LS installation, I can see these conditions in the question logic file. But I cannot see where they where inserted.

As far as I know, you cannot put relevance or conditions on subquestions.

Well, that changes the case. I am testing all kind of things to get my survey display the way I want. I have now found out that the SQrelevance as shown in the Survey Logic file, comes from the array filters. That gave some light to my question. I guess I will come up with a feature request, for subquestion relevance conditions

Thanks, tpartner!

For all those looking for the solution, I have found this workaround:

First I have created my array question [Q1].

On a new page (new group), I created a multiple short text question, with the same amount of subquestions as the array question. I have entered the default answer option with the following expression:

This fills the text fields with the desired subquestions if the desired answer is given. If a different answer was chosen, it leaves the field empty.

After that, I hid this question using this script

Finally, I have added my next array question. The array filter is chosen for the hidden question. After that, It works like a charm.

Hi
Well done this is a neat solution , but it would be great if you didn't have to create another question group to get the multiple short text q to fill! Perhaps something for the future.

Lloyd.
