How to import 'Text entry' answers to 'drop down list' | XM Community
Skip to main content

Hi, I want the text entries (entered by the participant) appear as a 'drop down' choice in another question. It would be very good for me if it was as follows:
Text Entry question:
text entry.jpgDrop down question:
Q2.pngWhen I click the arrow where I marked in red in the question above, I would like to see the all names that were entered by user at first image. I would be very grateful if you could help. (I tried 'Carry Forward Statement' but It didn't work).
Thanks a lot for your help.

You might be able to figure out something with piped text? Just keep in mind that piped text activates when you go to the next page, so you wouldn't be able to have the two questions on the same page if you went that route.


Hi carolyn65 ,
Thank you for your answer. Piped text worked.
I clicked 'Click here to edit items..' and then I clicked on the 'rich content editor' button next to the popup box. I added piped text entries related to the order in this box. (such as ${q://QID27/ChoiceTextEntryValue/1} and ${q://QID27/ChoiceTextEntryValue/2})
Now I can see all manual entries inside of my drop down list.
I'm sincerely grateful for your help.
