What Im looking for is to put a survey together an employee survey.
Based on the input from another survey there are 3 unique questions I would like to ask.
So each user has to answer 2 sets of questions, one set is the same for every one and one set consists of 3 unique questions.
you can set a TOKEN-Attribute unique to each respondent.
Then you can display the respective three questions by relevance.
I hope there are not too many employees.
If the type of these questions is equal for each respondent (only the text changes), you could think about an equation which selects the texts.
This text you pipe into the questions.
Best regards

That sounds promising. There are about a 100 employees. They've put the unique questions in a table. (Sql server). So I have a table with email, question a, question b, and question c.
Only the text changes.
Im kind of new to all this. Could you elaborate a bit further on this?
If I cant make this work it's kind of a deal breaker.
Let me get this right, there is a part which is common for each respondent and then each respondent has 3 questions that are unique to him / her? So this means with 100 participants you have 100+ questions?

Provide your LS version and where it is installed (own server, uni/employer, SaaS hosting, etc.).
Always provide a LSS file (not LSQ or LSG).

A really unique question, so that the question type and the whole question text is totally different for each of these 3x 100 questions?
A unique question in terms of the question type is always the same, but the question text might change?
The question type and the question text are basically the same, just a few words of the text changes?

It's unique in the sense that it's based on the goal setting they did earlier that year. They have to define their own goals. Next they have to tell how their progress is and what is required to accomplish that.
So yes quite a few unique questions as you can imagine....
You said they "have to tell how their progress is".
So IMHO it's always a question of type "text", as well as the question about the requirements.
If I am right, a question group with a boilerplate question to explain, and then the two text questions.
That would save a lot.
If I am wrong could you create a sample survey with (let's say) 3 dummy employees and their fictive questions?

Same as Joffm. I would be interested in these examples. Because at the moment I suspect that with a little bit of piping this could be done. But of course I could be totally wrong.

Thanks for your replies guys!
So sorry to have kept you waiting. I looks like that the token does the trick.
I simply put {TOKEN:ATTRIBUTE_1} (and so on) in the question and then it appears in the question.
Brilliant! (It think, hope my boss feels the same)
Now I can just fill it connecting directly to the MySQL back-end.
