Open Text Questions Based on Multiple Choice

Question

I have a multiple choice question with 24 different options. Users can select up to three. Each of the choices has a separate long text section that we only want displayed if they included the corresponding choice in their response. In other words:

A user selects Option 1, Option 5, and Option 10 from the multiple choice list
We then want to ask three more individual questions.
- Why did you choose Option 1?
- Why did you Choose Option 5?
- Why did you choose Option 10?
- We want to skip over the remaining 21 open text fields. So if they didn’t select Option 2 we don’t want to show the question “Why did you choose Option 2?”

In any other survey tool I’ve used, this would be relatively easy: Only show Followup question #5 if multiple choice option #5 was selected. But it seems like in Typeform there is jump logic but no real skip logic, so I’d have to have logic based on every possible combination of up to three answers from 24 selections which is something like 2300 combinations which would be ridiculous.

Am I missing something here?

@leegoldin- not that bad, actually - your logic needs to go something like this - i will use q1as the starting point and o1 through o24 to refer to the possible follow-up questionson q1 your logic rules look like this:if q1 = o1 then go to q_o1if q1 = o2 then go to q_o2…if q1 =o24 then go to q_o24this allows for the typeform to go to the first selected option in the list, be it o1 or o10 or even if they select only one, o24on q_o1 you need to evaluate where to go nextif q1 = o2 then go to q_o2…if q1 =o24 then go to q_o24in all other cases go to [ending or other page]that will check to see where the user should be routed - the next appropriate selection or to the ending pageon q_o2 the logic repeats, again in a declining balanceif q1 = o3then go to q_o3…if q1 =o24 then go to q_o24in all other cases go to [ending or other page]continue and repeat down to q_o24 where there is but one logic rulesalways go to [ending other page]so yes there are 25 sets of logc rules to put in place but each question has has once less as you go down the list.hope that helps shorten the loaddes
