Can I pipe selected choices from a single-choice/dropdown list within a side-by-side question?


Forum|alt.badge.img+3
I am setting up a Contact List Trigger and need to pipe text from multiple questions in my survey. I have a side-by-side question with several columns, including a column with a dropdown list. I would like to create a field in my Contact list that pipes the selected choice from this dropdown list. It seems I can pipe the selected choice recode value, but not the text choice. I really need the text choice - am I missing something? Or is there a work-around? Thanks for any help!

@ccook - Everything you have is correct. I even tested the selection separately and it is piping the correct value for me. This might be a technical bug with your your survey and Quatlrics support may need to look in to it further. As a work around, try creating an embedded data value in the survey flow and piping that value in to your contact list trigger instead of from the question.

That's what I would have thought too, @Akdashboard . However, when I pipe the answers in to my next survey, it comes out as a string of numbers. I'll post my side-by-side question, my selected option, and the results below. ! 1. Original side-by-side ! 2. Piped text option ! 3. Resulting text

@ccook - It looks like you are selecting the inverse of what you want. If you look at SPC1name, you have it set to 1: - First Last, and if you look at SPC1loc, you have it set to 1: - city/town. However if you look at SPC1locc, you have it set to Professional Designation - 1: (backwards from the way the other 2 are set). Is there a "1: - Professional Designation" option in your piped text? Do you mind posting the .qsf file and I will take a look?

@Akdashboard , what you're saying makes sense! I don't see the option you mention though, which was along the lines of what I was looking for. Attached is the .qsf.
