Hi Community. Suspect (hope) this will be an easy solve for some of you. I’m struggling so would greatly appreciate the help. I'm putting together a survey for dog owners. Part of the survey allows them to answer a set of questions for each of their dogs (ie. if they have 4 dogs they would answer those set of questions 4 different times). Recognizing that people may have more dogs than they are willing to answer questions about, I want the survey to randomly select which of the dogs they answer questions about first, second, and so on. This will mean I’ll need the respondent to provide the names of their dogs so the survey can prompt them as to which dog to answer the questions about. I also want them to be able to exit that part of the survey after answering for a specific dog (e.g., have 4 dogs but completed the survey for 3 and would like to move on). Here’s what I’ve done and where I’m running into problems.I asked how many dogs they have and have stored this as embedded data. I then used this number with display logic to show the correct number to text boxes to gather the names of their dogs. I have stored the names of each dog as embedded data (e.g., Dogname1, dogname2).All of the questions I want asked for each dog are in a block. I have added Loop & Merge to the block, having it loop on the dog names with randomization.I think this is working. I’m stuck on the final bit. How do I get Qualtrics to list the dog name randomly chosen as piped text so the respondent knows which dog to provide info for? How do I provide a way for the respondent to opt out of answering about more of their dogs and move on to the next section of the survey? Thanks for any help!

Hi,Base your L&M on your number of dogs question or ED, then set up your L&M like this. I piped in the answers to a form question, but it could be regular open-ended ones.Then, in your loop question, you can pipe in the field 2 value with${lm://Field/2}

Hi Vincent. Thank you! This all worked perfectly. Appreciate it.
