Hide drill-down question if answer is not applicable | XM Community
Skip to main content
Hi there,



I am trying to create a question with multiple answers depending on the previous answer selected. I have created a drill-down question but I would like the last question to only be displayed if certain answers were selected previously.



Here is a screenshot of the question with all answers selected:

!



And this is a screenshot where the third answer should be hidden as it was not a relevant choice.

!



How do I hide that last answer?



I do believe that a solution can be worked out using Javascript, however I am not familiar with this language and cannot work out how to do it. Could someone please point me in the right direction?



Thanks a lot,

Sarah
Hi ,

I have a JavaScript and CSS which you could use in case your first question would be a standard multiple-choice question (not drop-down list).



JavaScript:



Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function()

{

function display_next (that, ID, choiceID){

var qid = "QID" + ID;

var sid = qid + "Separator";

var sep = document.getElementById(sid);

var nextQ = document.getElementById(qid);



var selectedRecode;

var condition;





that.questionclick = function(event, element) {

if(element.type == "radio")

{ selectedRecode = Number(that.getChoiceRecodeValue(that.getSelectedChoices()));



if(Array.isArray(choiceID)){

condition = choiceID.includes(selectedRecode);}

else{condition = (selectedRecode == choiceID);}





if(condition) {nextQ.style.display = "block";

sep.style.display = "block";}



else{nextQ.style.display = "none";

sep.style.display = "none";}}}



}



display_next (this, 15, [1,3]);

//first number id ID of the question you want to hide

//Second number are choices which will make the second queston visible when selected

});



CSS:



#QID15 {display:none;}

#QID15Separator {display:none;}



Note: You have to find an ID of your second question using the inspector.
Thank you for your reply, however, I do not quite understand how that would work with my example and a multi-choice question since a multi-choice question only has stand-alone answers.
