How Are They Dynamically Loading These Dropdown Items?

In this Shoott.com photographer application Typeform, item 3a is a dropdown menu with a question that asks “What is the brand of your camera?”. The sentence in 3b recalls the dropdown options list item selected from 3a. Easy enough. But how does the dropdown option list item chosen for 3b seem to dynamically load options based on the list item options in 3a? For example: in 3a, if the user chooses “Sony.” 3b will state “Sony camera model?” and the dropdown options will be the corresponding Sony option list items. How are they accomplishing this? I’m trying to recreate this for my Tyepform. Please help if possible. Thanks!

@zelioso - what they have likely done is create a page for each of the camera brands and depending on which one is selected, they use logic rules to get you to the correct brand page.

Hello ​@john.desborough! Thanks for the insight. Full disclosure, I'm a complete newbie to Typeform. I want to ensure I understand the terminology you’re using. By page you mean Multipage question?

@zelioso - inside the question group that they have created, they create a single page for each of the brands ie canon has a page, sony has a page.. and the logic rule on the ‘select brand’ page is something like this

  • if 3a is canon go to the canon page
  • if 3a is sony go to the sony page
  • if 3a is nikon go to the nikon page

you create these as individual pages inside your question group (the way they did in their form) and the logic rule directs the user to the correct page.
