Carry forward statements when using the "Ad Hoc Employee Research" survey type | XM Community

*** Please note the below relates to the "Ad Hoc Employee Research" survey type. I couldn’t see that option for Category so posting this under Employee 360 instead. ***


Hi, in the survey editor I am seeing a message saying “Carry forward statements - Temporarily no longer available for EX surveys. Replacing them is strongly recommended.” 

However I have submitted a test response and it seems to be working alright.

Does anyone know why the message is showing? I’m a bit nervous that it could stop working while my survey is live, even though it seems to be working alright now during testing.

Has anyone else used Carry forward statements for EX surveys using the “Ad Hoc Employee Research" survey type, even though that message is showing?

For context, I have a Multiple choice question listing 15+ options that people can pick from. The next question is a Constant sum question asking them to enter a number for each option they selected from the previous question. This is what the Carry forward is used for.

Alternatively, to be on safer side we can use display logic on statements.

Thanks @Shashi, yes noted regarding display logic being an option. I’m hoping the carry forward statements would be ok, as it feels a lot cleaner and a better user-experience for respondents as it formats all the selected options together. I think individual questions with display logic will take up a lot more room on the page 😞 But good point, appreciate the suggestion.

Ahh actually, I see what you mean now,,, so it would be display logic on each option within the same question. So still can have just one question showing, but with different options showing based on logic.

I’ll give that a go. Thanks @Shashi!
