conditionally pipe responses

Let's say I have 10 important categories. When someone logs into the survey they are asked to pick one of the ten categories. Based on what they pick, they are shown N default text responses and can add N of their own text response if necessary.
Now I need the default responses plus any user-generated responses to carry forward to a few other questions. Instead of creating branch logic 10 times for each category, ideally, the carry forward logic will be conditional on what the respondents chose in the first question, and added in the second question.
As I have it right now, the questions populate properly but I have to make a ton of branches and it is quickly getting cumbersome. I'm certain there is an easier way to do this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

best is to copy each branch and replace piped text value.

https://community.qualtrics.com/XMcommunity/discussion/18450/conditionally-pipe-responsesYour second question could be a multiple choice with 100 (10 x 10) choices with display logic on each plus 10 text entry 'other' choices. You could then carry forward the Selected - Entered text from this question into your other questions. This would eliminate all branches and piping.

Thanks Tom!
Is there a way to change the display logic in batches instead of doing it one at a time?
Also I'm wondering if there is a javascript solution for the original question instead of creating large logic-dependent matrices?

Unfortunately, no.

I'm not sure what 'original question' you are referring to. The JS answer is probably yes, but it would be complicated and there would be a number of caveats.
An alternative to my original suggestion would be an 'in-between' solution where you still have 10 branches, but the first question is each one has 10 choices and 10 'Other' open ends in one MC. You would no longer need display logic and you could carry forward the selected - entered text into the other questions in that branch.
