Hello!
Im setting up a quiz which the outcome changes based on the answers
To do this, i’ve initialized some variables with empty values, so if the answer to a certain question is “no”, it will be replaced with actual text
On the expected case, runs just fine, however if it isn’t changed, on the final page(one that i call all variables, to make a diagnostic) it shows as “_____”, not blank
Is there a way to make it totally blank?

Hi
There isn’t a way to remove those lines if the data isn’t entered, I’m afraid. One suggestion would be to create multiple variations of the outcome based on whether or not there is variable information. Of course, this would take a bit of setup, but it is a workaround. Would that help at all?

+5Hello 
Just to follow up, I am having this problem as well. In my case, it is not feasible for me to make over 120 different outcomes pages.
However, I believe the solution is to initialize the variables with just a space (i.e. set the starting value to “ “). As of now, this seems to be working in the test environment, and Typeform reads the space as a blank without adding filler space. I’d note this is a pretty straight forward problem for the engineering team to solve, so a tune up would be great. I was pretty frustrated before I found this solution -- hoping it works when deployed live.

Hi
Also, the blank variables filling with a “_____” also affects hidden fields within other Typeforms like asking for a name, so people should just remember to make questions used for hidden fields required.
+5Definitely sounds like quite the form, 
Glad to hear the variables are working for you.
