Display logic based on parent group

I have a matrix question with numerous statements but all are within a group as shown below. Can I set display logic based at the group level or do I have to set it for each individual answer option?

Perhaps it is better to have a separate question for each group (where display logic can be set at the question level) vs. one large question...?

If you have all the statements in question, you have to set the display condition to each statement. But as you said, it would be better for user so that don't have answer the multiple statements in a single question.

Qualtrics does not support Display Logic at the statement-group level within a matrix. If groups need conditional display, the best practice is to split them into separate questions and apply logic at the question level.

OR you can recommend to this:
If different groups of statements need different display conditions, it’s better to:

  • Split them into separate matrix questions (one per group),

  • Use separate questions entirely, where Display Logic can be applied cleanly at the question level.
