Carry forward an answer to populate a skipped question

I have a question that asks “From what other organizations do you purchase these types of products?”.  There are 9 options available to select, and there can be multiple selections.  IF more than one are selected, the next question is “Of the other organizations you purchase from, which is your most preferred?” and they see the selections from the prior question and can only select one. That selection is then piped into a follow up question

If “From what other organizations do you purchase these types of products?” results in only ONE selection, the next question (Of the other organizations you purchase from, which is your most preferred?) is skipped. BUT, I want to the single select from the prior question to be carried forward as the single select in the skipped question.  This can then be piped into the follow up question.

Hello Daniel,

 

You can use the same embedded data variable (one which is being used to populate options of the skipped question) to populate the follow up question.

Don’t skip the question. Use JS to hide it and select the one choice. See: https://gist.github.com/marketinview/8310ba82acde38be62f007095bbe0278
