How to Pipe text into responses?


I have a survey where I want to pipe in responses from a previous question and add text to them. For example, if I select "Financial software" on the previous question, I want the next question to say "How likely are you to recommend your financial software?" Any help would be appreciated!

Yeah! It's not to bad! There are two ways to approach this - you could use Loop & Merge or Piped Text: In the text of your next question, while you have the editor open, hit the piped text button on the top right, and then follow through as my example below: ! It should show something like this in the text of the next question `${q://QID3/ChoiceTextEntryValue}`. That is the piped text value.

Thanks, is there a way I could pull written responses from a different question and have them inputted as answers? I'm trying to get a written response from someone then have them rate their written response on a scale

@baxter Absolutely, you can use the same method as @Michael_Campbell_RedPepper showed above to pipe text in to answer options.

As a follow up to this, when I add in piped text into a question, using "selected choices" ie. Q2: "What do you do with x"? where x is selected choices from Q1, it appears blank?

@NeilM - There has to be a page break between Q1 and Q2 for piped text to work.

Fantastic. Thanks Tom. As a follow up I have a multiple choice question that has an "other" option with a text box that I am piping from. When i do the above it only displays as "other" is there a way to display selected options and what is typed in the "other" text box?

Yes, pipe "Selected Choices - Entered Text" instead of "Selected Choices".

When i do the above it only displays as "other" is there a way to display selected options and what is typed in the "other" text box? @NeilM - We need to select `Selected Choices - Entered Text` from the dropdown to get the other text piped in. Eg: syntax will be `${q://QID1/ChoiceGroup/SelectedChoicesTextEntry}`

Excellent. Thanks again Tom.
