Hi,

We will start using limesurvey for conducting post-training surveys. I was thinking of creating a dropdown list with all scheduled courses in the survey.

the trainee will then do the survey, and choose the followed course from this dropdownlist.
Because there could be a great number of entries to choose from, I am contemplating a way to reduce the number of entries shown in the dropdown list to only those trainings that are happening on that specific day.

Is there a way to do this? e.g. format each entry in the dropdownlist in such a way, that the survey can filter the list in realtime (e.g. compare the current date to the first x characters of each entry in the dropdown list).

All other suggestions are welcome.

regards,
tom

I don't think this is possible with the normal dropdown.

You might be able to do something with Javascript though.

How about loading the course via the survey URL - manual.limesurvey.org/Workarounds:_Surve...using_the_survey_URL
