I am building a staff survey for a workplace. I’ve created a data type of question, and a data type of answer, and added all the questions to the database. The answer data type has a question field, which I plan to use to link each answer to it’s question in the question database.
I have created a repeating group and added the questions and a slider input. The questions display find from the questions in the database. I want the slider input to function by adding (or updating) an answer where the question field is the same as the question displayed in the repeating group. I can’t figure out if there is a way to do this?
Is anyone able to help? I’m happy to clarify anything if what I’ve described is unclear!
Although if you simple want to show the answer to each question and since you mentioned the data type question has a answer field, why not simply make your repeating group’s data type as question and each cell’s question will have a current cell's question's answer ?
Hi Nino, this would work if each question had a set answer, but what I’m trying to capture in the Answers data type is each user’s response(answer) to the question. I hope that makes sense?
Hi Nino, I think I found an alternative solution to this. The Questions are all likert scale questions, so I can add fields for each likert score to the question data type and then add the user’s score on to the total e.g. When a user clicks on ‘strongly disagree’ I can add 1 to the ‘strongly disagree’ field of that question. It seems to work ok.
