Drill down multiple choices


AZXavier

Im trying to make a quiz where there are a bunch of words. The User will have to select 24. Those 24 should show up on the next slide for them to further select 6 out of those 24 words. Is this possible?

@AZXavier - welcome to the community from  fellow user

there is not current capability to do this on a dynamic basis, unfortunately but this sort of dynamic question built on answers from previous questions IS on the product feature request list. 

one way you MIGHT want to try this as a work around, it is a total kludge but worked for me on a limited set, is to create the second question where you put the 24 selected words in the description area of the question, using the @recall function and a numeric identifier (see the image below for something similar) and then another MC choice list with the numbers 1-24 on the page (no labels) to select 6. your logic branching would then copy the ‘words’ into a set of variables (ie v-six-of-24-one, v-six-of-24-two...) that you can do the same thing with if you are doing a further subselect. 

it ain’t purty but it might kludge it through. 

for me, i had 30 coffee quotes for tshirts listed and asked friends to select their top 5 and then rank them in order of preference - the image shows how i kludged it together

 

you would change the ranking question the multiple choice 

 

yeah, i am scratching my head too but i might work in a pinch..

Please no exploding brains - make it a typeform! lol.. hope it works @AZXavier .. hopefully we won’t have to kludge for too long 

@vickioneill - i used to tell my kids something like that too.. now that they are 30 and 25, they understand they should have listened to what what their mother said to do ...lol.. (i just made things work lol)

cheers

@Gabriel, yes I think I need more help. Its a bit difficult to understand all the terms and stuff. I tried what John suggested but it still did not work for me. :-(

Hi @AZXavier ,

As I read @john.desborough â€˜s response I’m curious if you could simplify what he’s recommended even further. 

In one question list the 24 words and have the user select 6. The next question - although not recalling the words - simply ask “of the 6 words you chose from the previous question
.” Would that work? 

What’s the goal or intent of the 24 words that get narrowed down to 6?
