Having multiple choice option within multiple choice | XM Community
Skip to main content
I All,



I have a bit of complex requirements. We are surveying our org to know what tools the staff is using. I have different choices and like project management tools, Analytical tools, Presentation tools, etc etc. I would like to have a drop-down that shows different categories of tools and when staf memeber selects those categories, a drop-down appears showing tools present within those categories. Staff member can select more than one category and more than one tools. Your help would be appreciated 🙂 .
Hi Tim123,



I'm not sure a drop down list question will be able to do what you want. Dropdown lists only allow for single selections, and in-page display logic (which could make a new question appear after an option on that page was selected) isn't compatible with drop down lists either. I'd suggest a multi-select page with all your options (Analutical tools, Presentation tools, etc) and then have more multi-select questions with display logic to appear in-page.



Here are some screenshots:

However, you may be able to make this work through custom code. If you're interested in digging into that, I'd check out this link: https://www.qualtrics.com/community/discussion/2458/select-multi-answer-drop-down-list



Best of luck,
