"Not applicable" or "N/A" in multiple choice


For a multiple choice question, is there a way to set up the answer options such that if someone selects a “N/A” option they can’t select anything else?

@Kriti  @Liz - the info in this other thread, very similar in nature, may be helpful

Hi @Kriti Welcome to the community! :hugging:

Would you like to prevent the respondent from giving other options on the same question? Or other questions? 

If you don’t mind sharing your form link, too, that may help for context!

Hi @Liz -- I’d like to prevent the respondent from clicking other options on the same question. The form link isn’t public but for example, let’s say I am asking what social media platforms someone uses -- if they select “N/A -- I don’t use social media” I don’t want them to be able to also select “TikTok” or “Twitter” etc.  

The thread @john.desborough  linked above is the same functionality I’m looking for -- thank you! -- so looks like it’s not available yet. Hopefully a feature in production :)

@Kriti - check the work around in the other post and see if that would work: it means that they might pick more than one including the NA BUT you control if you allow that by sending them back to the top if they do… 

as an interim step, it should help
