Hi

I have a list of items (text) in a Multiple Choice question ... and the respondent is asked to select "any that apply".

Once they select from among the list, I would like the selected items (i.e. subquestions) to be displayed in a subsequent question (maybe a Text Display question).

Is this possible?

Thanks in advance!!!

See Expression Manager Tailoring/Piping - www.limesurvey.org/manual/Expression_Man...Tailoring_.2F_Piping

So, for example, if your multiple-choice has question code "q1" and sub-questions "SQ001, SQ002...", you could use this to show the text from option 1 if checked:

Tony!

That's fantastic, it works ... and an uber-fast response too

thanks a million!

Hi! This was exactly what I was looking for. But could you give me a closer hint exactly how you do this? I'm quite new at Limesurvey, so I don't really know where to enter this. I have a few questiongroups with multiple choice questions, and I intend making copies of each of these, but in later views only show the selected ones, and use them in other question types. But I still can't get there from what you wrote here.

I'd be very grateful for a bit more description how you do this. Thanks beforehand.

Your problem is quite different to what anikas wanted to know.

You should have a look at the Expression Manager.

For example you can use relevance equations in subsequent questions and hide and show them, based on the answers given in previous question.

e.g. If you insert something like this {Q1_SQ001==1} into the relevance equation of a question, this question will only be shown if the subquestion SQ001 of question Q1 equals 1 (you need to see what applies for your survey of course).

Thanks! I'll try that at once! Is it ok to write on this thread, or do you want me to create a new one?
Thanks

I tried it, but can't seem to get the effect I'm looking for. Most probably because I'm doing it wrong. I want the question to be visible, but with only the previously selected multiple choice subquestions.

As I first understood it, the whole question would be visible or not depending on previous answers on one or several checks in one of the included multiple choice subquestions, but I want only the selected independent subquestions previously checked to be the ones visible in the next question. Is this possible, and maybe this is how you meant it and I'm simply doing it wrong.

Thanks

So what I'm basically after is being able to check expressions against each multiple choice on a subquestion level instead of on a question level.

I guess what you are looking for is the array filter option.

So if you have a multiple choice question where people can choose products they use, on a array question after that you can set the array filter and only those items are shown for evaluation, that have been chosen in the previous multiple choice question.

Yes, thank you holch, I was slowly coming to that conclusion. But I couldn't find the multiple choice option available as an array question. I'd have wanted the same setup, but with less (previously selected) same type of multiple choice questions.

Well, as far as I know, the array filter also works with two multipe choice questions.

Thanks again for the quick replies. I'll see if I can get it done with the options available for the array type question. Do you know at all if there might be an update that includes multiple choice in an array question? I guess it might be too much speculation to guess?
