Question numbering in Data when block used in more than one branch | XM Community
Skip to main content

I’ve been trying to do complicated display logic based on one participant identity screening question, one participant previous exposure to stimulus question, + cross-logic quotas based on identity + stimulus status to use before loop and merge and create a list of video clips where the participant won’t have seen any of the tv shows before, they won’t see any character more than once, and for any given character they will only see a clip whose quota hasn’t been met yet. 

The level of combinations I’m trying to do doesn’t seem to supported by the menu-based system if I’m trying to use a single path to the loop and merge table (which I was). If I create branches for each of the identity answers and then duplicate the blocks through the loop and merge in the survey flow, would the Data show each branches’ blocks as separate questions or would it list the data from all three groups under the same question columns in the Data?

So if there’s a MC question for stimulus group assignment (let’s call it Q54 in the survey editor) that’s in one of the duplicated blocks in a branch, would the data list all answers to that question in the Q54 column regardless of which of the three branches it was answered in, or would it duplicate the question for each branch so there would be a Q54 for the first branching group, but also a Q85 (or whatever number) for the second branching group, and Q95 for the third branching group?

Thanks for your help!

If you repeat a block in the survey flow, the answers in the last exposure of the block will replace previous answers.  Also, the respondent will see the answers they provided in the previous exposure.
