Hi! I'm creating a hard skills assessment for my team and having trouble making too much effort for a simple task. Basically, I determined that when selecting alternatives D or E for each question, 1 point would be added to the final score. This 2 alternatives indicates that this person has this skill developed.
The thing is: I'm having to customize each question score 😰
Just one of the levels has 56 questions, so It's been a hard work.
Does anyone know if there is a way to automate this process? I tought that duplicating the previous question would be enough to replicate the question characteristic, but when I check the Logic panel, it's not adapting to the actual question 😰😰😰
Here some prints to understand what I mean:
Pay attention to the logic of 6a questionI get back to the question panel, to duplicate this questionMy expectation is to reuse the logic to the 6b question, considering 6b alternativesWhen I check the logic panel, the 6b question is considering 6a question alternatives :((More details of the logicSo I have to edit the rules, one by one.This is what I expected since the beginning
What am I doing wrong? I really don't wanna edit the score of more than 100 questions, one by one.
Is there a better way to do it?

@taqtile - i feel your pain on this one. I have had to do just that for a number of large quizzes..
a couple of points:
when you duplicate a question it will duplicate the exact logic in the source - it isn’t a referential duplication ie that it will adjust the logic rules to reflect the new question number.
the one thing that is nice about the duplication, once you have the logic “right” on the first question - especially if you have say 10 logic rules for scoring on that question that need to be replicated - is that at least you have the structure of the queries correct and all you have to do is click and change the q number.
i know that is not perfect but it seems to be one of the limitations of the tool
If you create a question group where all the questions and logic would be repeated for another question group (say in a product review case - you can choose to review up to three products, choose them from tthe list” ) - create one question group and then duplicate the question group..
all the questions and logic are duplicated AND you have to change the guts of the logic rules but at least they are there.
one of the quickest ways that i have found to make these types of assessments work ‘faster’ for me is to by pass the calculations inside Typeform and push the data out to Google Sheets where I can set up the formulas and functions to quickly do all the scoring and calculations. I also use Document Studio to merge the data into an output template (Google Docs/Slides both work a treat) and send a pdf of the report out to the user.
Mostly though I will crunch through the logic rules in the forms so that i can do the in-typeform report out (or as much of it as i can) and then use the Google Sheets/ Document Studio process to do more fulsome reporting in a pdf.
including one assessment quiz that had over 500 logic rules - see the next point
Also - really suggest breaking your big typeform into a series of smaller typeforms that you connect by redirection on completion and hidden fields (ie pass the email address across as a key for linking the data together.)
i know it may not be what you want to hear but as someone who has suffered through the same thing, just a few thoughts from the minefield.
