Does the same question occurring multiple times need multiple questions?

Hi All,

I'm trying to build a Typeform (my first) and there are two logic paths. In both of them, the same question "are you a resident" occurs multiple times.

When I try and build the logic, I get an error message that says you cannot refer back to questions.

My solution has been to the duplicate the same question again so the logic can refer to a higher number question. It seem like an inefficient approach, but I can't work out another way?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi @mrdcmiller Yes, that’s correct. If you’d like to ask the same questions multiple times but allow for different inputs every time, you’ll need to add the question as many times as you’d like it to be asked. 

You can then use logic jumps like this to show only as many that apply, if needed.
