Can I allow multiple submissions of a group instead of duplicating it?

Hi community,

I’m trying to find a way to streamline my logic in my typeform and I hope you’re able to help.

 

Essentially there are two parts to my survey.

 

The first part is to fill in user information in Question Group 1. 

At the end of the question group, I’ve created a logic that asks if they want to create a new user. If yes, they are directed to a duplicated version of Question Group 1. If they answer no, they go to part II.

 

Now is there a way to ruse Question Group 1 and collect unique answers every time it’s filled?

 

Part II asks a series of questions that pulls from answers from Part I.

Because of this, I’ve created three separate pathways. 

One user => part II

Two users go to [part II for user 1] + [part II for user 2]

Three users goes to [part II for user] + [part II for user 2] + [part II for user 3]

(illustrated below)

Basically I’ve copied question groups so many times and I’m trying to streamline it somehow. The challenge is now that if I make any changes to any of the questions, I’ll have to make sure I’m making changes to every duplicated question. It feels like a very redundant process that won’t scale very well. 

 

I hope I’m making sense!

yes.. create the hidden variables in the second form and when you ‘share’ that form you will see something like this at the end of the url - …. v_email=xxxxx&name=xxxxxx  

those are two variables that i would have created as hidden in the second form.. and you would pass them from the first form to the second form: use the @recall feature to select the question associated with the input to the variable you want passed. and you can do the same from the second form when you loop back into the second form for ‘another entry’

@Yutamedia - why not use a series of typeforms with redirects between them>?? 

 

ie after the first question group, if they want to go to create a new user then submtit the current data redirect to the ‘new form’ - ie q-group one questions and at the end of the form, ask them if they want to add another and if yes, upon submit, redirect them back to the same form - it will be a new instance. 

you might want to use hidden variables to pass a unique identifier (ie the email of the user who completes the first form, and pass it so that you can ‘relate’ the data entries together later on. 

something like this little sample i created a while back

 

just a thought

I think this is certainly possible, but part II will require pulling the unique inputs from Part I. So would I be able to do that when connecting two typeforms?

@john.desborough sorry if this is a silly question.

I’ve connected the two typeforms: one for part 1 and one for part 2.

The challenge now is that part 2 prompts a series of 6 additional questions for every time they submitted part 1.

So if they submitted part 1 once, they will answer the questions in part 2 once. If they submitted twice in part 1, they will have to answer the same series in part 2 twice. etc.

 

What would be the best way to structure my typeform?
