We have a list of 19 factors as to why people choose to attend a graduate school program. We essentially want to do a pick and rank question with these 19 factors but because there are so many and some are wordy that format just doesn't look right for the user. We have split this up into two questions. * Q1: Multiple Select - check all of the factors you considered * Q2: Rank - of the factors you considered (carried forward from Q1) rank anywhere from 2-10 of those factors I am skipping over Q2 if they only select 1 option in the first question. My problem is that I want that option to be ranked as 1 in the data for Q2 without the respondent having to see the question and record the ranking. Is there a way to automate this? I want to avoid the following solutions: * Changing the question type to pick, group, and rank * Filtering the data on the back end and editing Q2 as there is a risk that the analyst will forget to do this step.

@bstrahin - The easiest way to do this would be to create branching logic in the survey flow and pipe the ranking selections in to embedded data options. For example:Branch if more than one option is selected, then top choice = rank value lowest, last choice - rank value highest (etc.)Then also, Branch if only one option is selected, top choice = selected choice.If this doesn't make sense, let me know and I will post a pick of my survey flow.I do something very similar to track events leading up to generating a call for my business. I essentially ask them to select everything they did prior to generating a call, then ask them to "rank" them from top to bottom based on the order that they do the given action. However, if they don't do anything else, then I need to record that their first action is to call us.

@bstrahin - A better way to do this is to use JavaScript added to the ranking question that checks to see if there is only one carryover choice and if there is give that choice a rank of one then click the next button. This approach keeps your data clean..as if the respondent actually answered the ranking question.If you have the back button enabled, you'll want to hide it on the question after the ranking question.
