Autofill the answer of a question based on answer of previous question

Hi Appostolos,
yes you can achieve this by writing the below code into the question you want to set automatically
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function()
{
let selectedRecode = Number("${q://QID1/SelectedChoicesRecode}")//answer from the previous questions
let setAnswer;
if (selectedRecode == 1){
setAnswer = 1 // Recode you want to set
}else if(selectedRecode == 2){
setAnswer = 2
}else if(selectedRecode == 3){
setAnswer = 3
}

this.setChoiceValueByRecodeValue(setAnswer,1)

});
Hope this helps

Hello Rudi, thank you for your answer. Unfortunately it does not work for me. I have no knowledge of javascript though. The whole idea is respondents who choose Tennis in question 1, they won't need to answer question 2, they will be directed to question 3 but their answer in question 2 will be autollfilled with choice 1 ('Roger Federer'). All the other respondents who choose Football or Volleyball, they will answer the question 2 and they can choose anything they want.

Thank you very much anyway

Hi Apostolos,

for skipping the question you need to insert this.clickNextButton()

Best regards

Rudi

Thank you Rudi

https://community.qualtrics.com/XMcommunity/discussion/comment/42907#Comment_42907I came across the same issue and the only difference is that my question 1 is a multiple response question, meaning respondents can select "Tennis" along with other options. However, as long as "Tennis" is selected, these respondents won't see question 2 and their answer in question 2 will be autofilled with choice 1 ('Roger Federer'). " I adjusted your codes to be like below but it still doesn't work and everybody would skip question 2 no matter what they choose at question 1. How can I fix the codes? Thank you very much!
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function()
{
let selectedRecode = Number("${q://QID10/SelectedChoicesRecode}")
let setAnswer;
if (selectedRecode == 1){
setAnswer = 1
}

this.setChoiceValueByRecodeValue(setAnswer,1)
this.clickNextButton()

});

did you get this sorted in the end? i.e working for multiple choice question repopulation?

I have tried the solution posted above to no success, I have posted some new issues identified on this post: https://community.qualtrics.com/XMcommunity/discussion/22392/how-do-you-get-the-embedded-data-from-coded-questions-to-populate-a-follow-up-survey#latest
