Loop and Merge based on embedded variables

That sounds a bit like a nested loop and merge, which unfortunately is not currently supported (as far as I know). You may be better off using math operations and branching logic but it could get pretty unwieldy. BUT if you want to try this, you could use the Survey Flow to set variables such as Month = May and Times = 4, then If Times >= 1 then Modifier1 = "first", then pipe in text to say something like Your <Modifer1><Month> trip.

So my thought was that I could somehow set up JS (although I don't know enough about scripting to do this myself) to a hidden question and then use that hidden question to base the Loop off of. Is this possible? You can base your loop off the "how many times in each month" question. Use html to put "first" inside a `<span>` tag, then pipe the total number of loops into JS and if it is one hide "first".
