i will kindly share a loom link which explains the challenge being experienced
according to the video question 4 and 5 have the same arrangement as “No, Yes”, if i answer question 5 first as “No” it will automatically answer question 4 as “No” which shouldn’t be.
Likewise Question 3 and Question 6
so the challenge is in list of choice that have similar option sets arrangement (keyword is arrangement) such that it automatically pick other answers for a question that has the same arrangement of the list of choice as the same answer.
i have checked through every workflow and condition cant dictate where the issue is… except from the condition of the checkbox which i think might be a way out
the condition is the “custom state Lselected contain parent group text” will sound like since the two identical parent group text is the same then the checkbox will change.
so this is where i think the issue is,
so having to now direct the custom state Lselected to contain the current question parent group text (emphasis on current question)
i believe with that, the issue will stop but having to do that is a problem i am not getting too
would be glad if i can be assisted.
I think the problem is you’re saving it in a group state, so it’s ALWAYS the same answer in this state, independent of what it’s showing in the group, it’s always the same state…
You could create a new data with “Answer register” in each question answered, and linking it with the form for each user, and setting the condition based on the answer registered…
But it would be a little costy in WU… It would only be worth it if you were registering things like time to answer, answer history, etc…
If you want it simple, you could use a text to register, for example:
answer1|answer2|answer3
and each time they answer you add a text
For example, imagine the 1st answer was YES, the second was NO, the third was IDK
So the state would be: YES|NO|IDK
the fourth answer like (HAHAHA), then:
YES|NO|IDK|HAHAHA
if you take this state and :splitted by → |
you would get a list of texts:
YES
NO
IDK
HAHAHA
So by the condition: When (text:splitted by: | :item#(number) is current cell’s answer, so → marked
The problem comes when you try to come back and edit the answer… so it would take some tricks… I don’t know if it would be a good solution, but maybe it will show you the way haha
thanks for your response.
i have tried to articulate what you have said, still not getting it clearly
could you please be more clear in explanation. what you are saying gives hope of working out
If you get a text (like state text) there is a function to split the text and transform it into a list of texts… You can choose whatever you want to separate, split by | split by $, split by §… Any symbol…
So, one way to register data is to register into a simple text, and transform into a list of texts later (this is good because normal list of texts won’t allow duplicated data, and splitting allows it)
So if you just increase the size of the text if the answers you can register it…
But it’s a little tricky to set the conditions and to edit answers
