Hi, I have a thing with fields for questions that users select or enter answers for regarding their preferences. At the end it asks which of the preferences are most important to them. I then want to show a summary of those most important preferences.
At the moment I am storing the selected important preferences as a list of text. Then using conditions to hide the preferences that are not selected as the most important. This is OK but there are a lot of questions and so I’m trying to think of a smarter way to do this. Optimally I’d have a field which holds a list of fields and I can then just display those, but this of course is not possible.
There is nothing wrong with it as such. But the solution then requires all questions to be listed on a page with almost all of them hidden which is not very efficient. There are about 30 questions and only 3 are selected as the most important.
Okay…what you need then is another data field that you put onto the User data type and make that a list field and make it so you save the 3 selected preferences, then anytime you want to reference the Users 3 selected preferences you reference the field you create on the User data type that saves their 3 selected preferences.
Hi, thanks for the suggestion. The problem here is that not all the preferences are the same type. I think I should be able to convert them to text though. Dealing with updates will be tricky but I’ll give it a try.
