I have read the manual on the use of the Array filter function but it doesnt seem to be working , i have a question coded as Q6 which askes the person doing the survey to pick the catering factilities they use in an area, i wanted a follow up question to this to be How would you rate the catering factilities? with the answer options being presented in an array with the factilities they had answered in Q6 the only ones to show up in this question.
But when i put the code for Q6 into the array filter on this follow up question , nothing happend it doesnt give me the list of the factilities i picked in Q6 ( i tested this in a preview of the group these 2 questions were in.)
can anyone give me some assistance i did read the manual and done everything it said so am genuienly confused.
LS will not "give" you the list of chosen items from the previous question. You basically must built two questions with the same answer options / subquestions for both (and as tpartner said the codes must be the same for LS to be able to filter the array).
Then LS can compare both questions and see which where chosen in the first question and hide the not chosen codes in the second question.
manual.limesurvey.org/QS:Array_filter/en
Array filter question settings require the questions being used to have exactly matching lists of answers. If the questions do not have exactly the same set of answers and codes, then the filters will break.
Starting in 1.92, if Q2 has sub-questions that are not present in Q1, they will always be displayed rather than breaking the filters.

Thanks for the reply , just a quick clarification , when you mentioned the codes must be identicle , i assume you mean the ones for the answers such as this one (SQ001) in the picture below ?
