Hi All,

Is there a way to dynamically import response data into a new survey. I looked here . I could use tokens but as far as I could tell that would require me to manually fill in a token attribute table. For example:
Survey 1 Response:
Q1 = "Blue"

Survey 2
Q1 = <is there a way to directly reference Survey 1 Q1 answer or would I need to use {TOKEN:ATTRIBUTE_1} which already contains the answer>

Thanks

You might be able to do something with Ajax, but I am not an expert.

But you don't have to fill the token manual. You export the results from the previous survey and create the new token table based on that, then import it via CSV. Yes, there is some manual part, but it is not that you need to type in the answers manually.

If the first survey leads directy to the second survey you could pass the information via the end url (not sure how your constallation is).

Thanks for the response

Hm yea that could be a good workaround. I think for my purposes this should be fine. Tokens are great :)
