Can someone help me with this please
Is there a way to attach the response for the 'other' given in the previous
question to another question entirely?
For example,
q1. Which type of ceramic tiles do you use.
a. Gray Pale
b. Glazed
c. Other
My response to the question is 'other' which is (Mosaic).
Next,
Q2. Which tiles is your favourite
a. Gray Pale
b. Glazed
c. Mosaic
As you can see, I have tied my 'other' option in Q1 to be Mosaic in Q2
because of the response given. Can this be possible? I am designing a
questionnaire that will make room for more than one 'other' in a particular
question , not differentiating the 'others' will only make me more
confused. Please if there is no way around this, will you be kind enough to
suggest something else for me?
There are workarounds, but no surefire way to do that.
Assuming that Q1 'other' is a text question, and your other question's name
is "other_tile" you can create a new list in your choices-sheet that has
the following:
list_name, name, label
favorite_tiles, gray, Gray Pale
favorite_tiles, glazed, Glazed
favorite_tiles, other, ${other_tile}
That will create what you want when the user selects other and enters
"Mosaic" in the 'other' question:
a. Gray Pale
b. Glazed
c. Mosaic
The problem is that it'll create a blank option if the user selects Gray
Pale or Glazed:
a. Gray Pale
b. Glazed
c.
Which you could get around by creating separate questions/lists and branch
on wether 'other' was chosen in Q1, but that will likely end up making your
data analysis quite complicated.
I suppose you could also try using the choice_filter column to filter out
the 'other' option in the case that the user didn't select 'other'. I'm not
100% sure that would work, but you'd be using the cascading select
functionality, but just filtering the first list on a value rather than
subsequent lists on selections:

You could also use ${other_tile} for the list variable name instead of
'other' to make the variable more related, but if the user enters a space
it'll break.
