Can I put a formula that inserts in the item a specific answer?

Hi everybody,

I don't know if is clear from the title, but what I want to say is ( I do an example is better).

Immagine to have this item: WHAT'S YOUR DOG'S NAME?
the answer: BOBBY

Now what I want is that in base of the answer (BOBBY) I have the possibility to have this name (BOBBY) in the following questions.
E.g.
Question: SO YOU SAID THAT YOUR DOG'S NAME IS BOBBY.

Could I do that?

Thank so much for your attention and help

Yes, you can do that. It is generally called piping and is pretty easy with Expression Manager.

Let's assume the question code for your question is "dogname", then you can use {dogname} and it should give you the answer the respondent has given to the question.
