Hi @franziska, Welcome to the ODK forum. We're glad you're here. If you have a moment, please introduce yourself in the welcome thread! [Introduce yourself here!](https://forum.getodk.org/t/introduce-yourself-here/6671)

Regarding your issue, for the follow-up question since you want Q1 to be redundant, why don't you leave it out in the choice filter options? See this [Example Form two.xlsx](https://forum.getodk.org/uploads/short-url/89P7HWyGKwAdujd0STLQJW1AEmX.xlsx) (12.5 KB)
