Date of Birth / Over 18

Thanks Liz. If it goes to a ‘Statement’ block, can they go back to rectify the DOB and then continue the rest of the survey, DOB question is an early question in a c.20 min survey

Hi @Cat88 Yes, the respondent should still be able to return back to that question to adjust their response. If you don’t want them to, you could send them to an ending instead. 

Thanks Liz, is there a way that the logic can be automatically updated so I dont have to update the logic year every year, i.e. DOB before 2006 this year, 2007 next year and so on?

Hi @Cat88 While we don’t have this feature in the platform, you could try to set this up programmatically using our APIs. 

Hi @Liz ,

I'm with the same issue as @Cat88 !

How can we set this up using APIs? Can you give us more details?

Thanks a lot!

Hey folks,

Let’s check how to do this via API.

I replicated this flow 

The form is available at https://form.typeform.com/to/c1c4UG4t

Now let’s check the logic in the API calling our Retrieve form endpoint
GET https://api.typeform.com/forms/{form_id}

This returns a JSON with the whole structure of the form. Included a logic section.

"logic": [
    {
      "type": "field",
      "ref": "01HYD9Z8BT8FQM7NXW73H4C9R9",
      "actions": [
        {
          "action": "jump",
          "details": {
            "to": {
              "type": "thankyou",
              "value": "01HYD9Z8BTTH88A1H9YRQCCGPF"
            }
          },
          "condition": {
            "op": "later_than",
            "vars": [
              {
                "type": "field",
                "value": "01HYD9Z8BT8FQM7NXW73H4C9R9"
              },
              {
                "type": "constant",
                "value": "2006-05-21"
              }
            ]
          }
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      "type": "field",
      "ref": "1c864771-efad-46ff-b92f-8d18ff9d079e",
      "actions": [
        {
          "action": "jump",
          "details": {
            "to": {
              "type": "thankyou",
              "value": "cb65e194-fa8d-47db-ae23-bbd97ebe7ad8"
            }
          },
          "condition": {
            "op": "always",
            "vars": [

            ]
          }
        }
      ]
    }
  ],

You can see the first part where it defines the “2006-05-21” constant.
You can modify it and then re-upload the whole form definition using the Update Form endpoint

PUT https://api.typeform.com/forms/{form_id}

And now you have a script that calls this flow daily, and it will move the over 18 date.

Hope this helps

Oh wow thanks for this, @picsoung ! 😀
