drop down option list was created by kapil_codefire
can we do like this?

I have 5 options for a dropdown list and it's for 5 questions when any option selected that will not come on next question option.

Example:
I have 5 options
1. option 1
2. option 2
3. option 3
4. option 4
5. None

When I first question select 1st option then it's will not come on 2nd question options list, and when 2nd question I select 4th option then next question 1st and 4th option will not come on 3rd question option.

There is no filtering available for list-dropdown questions.

If you use list-radio questions and your questions are in separate groups, you could filter them with hidden multiple-choice questions that you set via Expression Manager.

Searching the forums should yield many examples presented by Joffm on how to do that.

As Tony said: I explained the way I do it several times

Here is an example to do what you described

But, of course: no drop-down. But I do not think this is a severe issue with only 5 options.

Yes, I suppose you could do it with JavaScript.

Are all questions on the same page?

Do you allow backward navigation in the survey?

In that case if, for example, you have question codes Q1, Q2, Q3, disable AJAX in the survey theme options and place a script like this in the source of Q2:

Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
 
  $(document).on('ready pjax:scriptcomplete',function(){
 
    // Define the previous answer(s)
    var q1Value = '{Q1}';
 
    // Identify the drop-down
    var thisSelect = $('#question{QID} select.form-control:eq(0)');
 
    // Reset the drop-down if its value equals previous answer(s)
    if(thisSelect.val() == q1Value) {
      if($('option[value=""]', thisSelect).length == 0) {
        $(thisSelect).prepend('<option value="">Please choose...</option>');
      }
 
      thisSelect.val('');
    }
 
    // Remove drop-down option
    $('option[value="'+q1Value+'"]', thisSelect).remove();
  });
</script>

Place a script like this in the source of Q3:

Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
 
  $(document).on('ready pjax:scriptcomplete',function(){
 
    // Define the previous answer(s)
    var q1Value = '{Q1}';
    var q2Value = '{Q2}';
 
    // Identify the drop-down
    var thisSelect = $('#question{QID} select.form-control:eq(0)');
 
    // Reset the drop-down if its value equals previous answer(s)
    if(thisSelect.val() == q1Value || thisSelect.val() == q2Value) {
      if($('option[value=""]', thisSelect).length == 0) {
        $(thisSelect).prepend('<option value="">Please choose...</option>');
      }
 
      thisSelect.val('');
    }
 
    // Remove drop-down options
    $('option[value="'+q1Value+'"]', thisSelect).remove();
    $('option[value="'+q2Value+'"]', thisSelect).remove();
  });
</script>

Hi Joffm,

thank you reply, I trying it as you mentioned, but when I click on back button then it's selected option not showing
an example:
Q1. option1 selected
Q2. option2 selected (option1 not showing)
Q3. option4 selected (option1 & option2 not showing)

When I click on back button from Q3 then Q2 option2 not showing.
