Hi -

We want to collect 30-50 names in an array of texts and feed the entries into a multiple choice list.

For example, if the users John Smith, Mary Jones and Jimmy Johnson are entered into the first question (Q1), leaving the rest of the possible entries blank, we want those names to appear in a list in Q2, with the option to choose whether they are one or more of a contractor, employee and/or supervisor.

Is there any way to do this?

Q1: Enter names:

1	John Smith
2	Mary Jones
2	Jimmy Johnson

Q2: Please select the appropriate characteristics:

Name	Employee	Contractor	Supervisor
John Smith	Checkbox	Checkbox	Checkbox
Mary Jones	Checkbox	Checkbox	Checkbox
Jimmy Johnson	Checkbox	Checkbox	Checkbox

Feeding them into the multiple choice list should be easy with EM.

Something like {QUESTIONCODE} in the answer options for the multiple choice array should do the trick. The problem is to find out which text boxes have been filled and and then hide the empty options in the multiple choice array. I assume this is possible via Javascript, but I am not expert on this.

You can use array filter on Q2. As the inputs in Q1 are filled in, the corresponding row in Q2 will appear.



Here's a little sample survey.

Hey Tony! Happy 2015 (great picture by the way. I am just imagining how you write your Javascript solutions this way... ).

I did not know that the Array filter works with open ended questions!

Will try that here and add it to my collection of solutions. You never know when you need something like that.

Had a look at this and it is not purely Array filter, right?

What does

do?

I guess it is hiding the whole question completely until something is filled in. Because if you would use only the array filter, the question would be there, just no answer options, I guess?

But what does this code snipped actually do? It checks if any of the fields have content?
