Hi @Stefan_LP you can add a display logic on Q2 saying ‘show only if Q1 selected count is greater than 1’. Rather than using javascript to auto-punch you can store that fruit in an branch logic, embedded data in the survey flow if the selected count is only 1 in Q1. 

But will Q2 have data in it for all respondents? Or will this just split the data, with some people answering Q2 and others in a new column in the dataset called “most_eaten_fruit” ? 

yes right the data will be split. 

Thanks, that’s not a solution for my particular problem but I appreciate your effort. I have posted about recoding instead - do you know if this is possible/how to do?

Hoe to recode - i.e. create a new variable from two or more existing variables | XM Community (qualtrics.com)

Hi @Stefan_LP ,

I believe it will be in another column.

There are a few methods to have the data in a column.

1) You can combine them by creating a combine field column through Coalesce using field editor.

2) You can add more branches in the survey flow with the condition to be equals to a choice with the same embedded data to be piped in from Q2’s selected choice.

I found the field editor before but it does not let me work with a multiple select checkbox question type.

As for number 2, this looks complicated, but I might try it when I am in a better headspace - have spent all day and failing all the time has taken a toll  - do not have it in me to try this step now.

The “2) You can add more branches in the survey flow with the condition to be equals to a choice with the same embedded data to be piped in from Q2’s selected choice.” worked for me

The variable was unable to be used in a qualtrics report, so had to recreate it via bucketing as a workaround.

Thanks so much!
