Display question when the same answer is selected over different questions.

Question

Dear all,  I’m currently setting up a discrete choice experiment study, where the respondent will be given 8 different choice sets, over 8 different questions. I want to display a question if the respondent has selected the same option in at least 5 of the 8 questions.  With display logic, I currently displayed the follow-up question if the same option is selected in each of the 8 questions. I was wondering if it is possible to work with an If-Then logic, so that the follow-up question is displayed if a certain option is selected in at least 5 out of the 8 questions? This is my first time posting, so I am happy to provide more information or be referred to other resources. Thank you for your help!

@SamVI actually think there is a better way which requires no technical understanding of JavaScript. You can just define some branches (one for each question) which checks if the relevant option was selected and count up some embedded data by 1 using math operations.It is important that you define your counter embedded data field as Number andadd the spaces correctly for the math operations, e.g.,$e{ ${e://Field/choiceCounter} + 1 }The Number type can be selected when you click the “Options” of the embedded data block.You would need to place the follow-up question in a separate question block after all the branches. The display logic would then be based on embedded data:BestChristian
