Access response of a short free text was created by tsureshkrishna187
Hi, am very new to lime survey. My question might be silly for few,pls excuse me.

How can i access the answer given in a short free text and display it in another text field question?
E.g :
Question :What is your name?
Ans : Mr.x

Now i would like to display the name (Mr.x) in another question which is of type text field.
E.g Welcome Mr.x <Answer of the short free text>.

Both the questions are in the same question group.
Since there is no answer code for short free text like multiple answer questions i have no idea about any ways to access the answers of short text. Pls help...

1. What version/build of LimeSurvey is used?
2. The manual offers some info about accessing variables and the different questiontypes
manual.limesurvey.org/Expression_Manager#Access_to_Variables

3. Why do you think there is no answercode for short free text. The questioncode is the answercode since there is only one answer to that type of question.
If the code of the short free text is e.g. q02, then you can use {q02.shown} or {q02} to access the answer of that question.

Sometimes accessing variables is not working since the questions have to be in different groups/on different pages. But that is not always the case.
