Carrying forward items from a form question

Hello! I have a form question that has four items each with a numeric entry field, like this:
Please estimate how many of these items you own:
Shirts [X]
Pants [X]
Hats [X]
Coats [X]
I want to ask a follow-up question that asks something about each item where the user entered a number greater than zero. Something like this:
What percentage of the following did you buy at Sears?
[X]

Carrying forward from the form question doesn't seem to work as it only offers me the option to carry forward entered text. I don't actually want the entered text, I want the text such as "Shirts", but only if the entered text is a number greater than zero. Is this possible?

Your follow-up Form field question would have all the same rows as the first question. Add display logic to each row based on its value in the first question. For Shirts it would be something like:
Question Q1 What percentage... Shirts Is Greater Than 0

One easy approach would be to create a separate form field question and just use option-based display logic to show a specific option when the above questions value is greater than 0. You will have to include a page break here between 2 questions.
It would look like below:
