st way to manage complex conditional logic in long Typeform surveys?

Hey ​@australiacityguide welcome to the community, great to hear you’re using Typeform to collect feedback. I know a lot of people typically write out all their questions and logic in a doc or spreadsheet before plugging it into the form, which can help with visualising and making sure you’ve connected everything. 

Maybe ​@john.desborough or ​@Ash.NZ have some advice, as folks that have built out a lot of complex forms!

​@Grace ​@australiacityguide - white board and sticky notes to start with and then document as @grace 

suggests. 

one of the challenges i wrestled with initially was making sure i got all the rules created and in place - and so i write them out in a spreadsheet, in excruciating detail, and take the time to check each one off as i enter them into the typeform. 

one form i did had me looking at finding the highest score among 12 variables and that had over 800 logic rules to put in place (to deal with tiebreakers etc.) and as boring and repetitive as it was to check off each rule as i went, it ensured that i had them all done properly and in order. 

drove me about nuts but realizing that this reduced, if not eliminated, errors on my part, it’s the method that i use  (along with numerous cups of coffee and loud music to combat the repetition fatigue)

note that typeform ‘automatically’ organizes your logic rules into ‘groupings’ (my term) - calculation type rules at the top and navigation rules at the bottom. if you miss a “if q27 = A then replace v_name with text string” rule and try to add it at the end of your list, as soon as you enter it, it will move up the the calculations section and not be listed as the last rule you enter chronologically. … just a little quirk that drove me nuts trying to find one during a project with 1200 rules.. 

cheers
