how to "clear" respondents previous selections on a question asked multiple times through loop and merge | XM Community
Skip to main content

I’m creating a survey that asks a series of questions based on 14 clinical vignettes.

For each clinical vignette, the respondents are asked to tick the relevant antimicrobials from a multi-select list:

The respondents then have to answer some Assessment questions based on the antimicrobials they have selected. I’ve used a loop and merge feature for this and it works well.

My problem is that each time the above antimicrobial question is asked for a new clinical case, the previous selections are pre-filled with the respondent’s previous selections. I want them to be cleared each time.

This is my Survey Flow logic:

 

How do I get these selection to be cleared each time the respondent has to answer this question?

@cazchen,

There is an issue with your block and survey flow setup. As, it is now the Vignette 2 answers for both Antimicrobial and Assessment will overwrite the Vignette 1 answers in the response data.

You can either:

  • Make everything (Vignette, Antimicrobial, Assessment) one loop & merge block
  • Create separate blocks Vignette 1 and Vignette 2 blocks for Antimicrobial and Assessment.

Hi @cazchen ,

I haven’t used Grouping together with Loop & Merge before, but I wonder if that has something to do with it.

Go to the survey editor and make sure that Loop & Merge is turned on in each block you want it applied to.

Once you’ve verified that L&M is set up correctly and turned on, if you’re still seeing the choices filled on on subsequent loops, you might try removing the Groups in the Survey Flow.

Thanks so much @MatthewM and @TomG , I’ll try out some of your suggestions and see how I go.

Cheers,
