I have two questions  
Q1 has options  
A, B, C and D  
Q2 has options  
E, F, G and H

now in Q3, I want all the option choices the respondent selected in Q1 and Q2

For example: If he selected  
A & B in Q1  
E in Q2

then Q3 options should be  
A  
B  
E

Please let me know how to go about it. I'm stuck here for a very long time. Thank you

Hi @sumaiya  
welcome to the forum! Please [introduce yourself here!](https://forum.getodk.org/t/introduce-yourself-here/6671)

the value in choice\_filter will be pretty simple: `selected(${q1},name) or selected(${q2},name)`  
Here is a sample form:
