Hi Denis thank you for your reply!
Let me clarify the behavior I would replicate.
I have this survey - you can see in the attachment - that makes it possible to go back and change the previous question, so the "back" and the menu button are enabled.
G1 is the first question group and contains a list of questions S
G2 is the second question group and contains a subset of S
G1 has two questions:
- G1Q1 has three answers
G2 has two questions:
- G2Q1 has three answers:
Expected Behavior
Standard example:
If the User selects Document C from G1Q1, he will see Document C auto-selected in G2Q1.
If the User selects Document C from G2Q1, he will see Document C auto-selected in G1Q1, after hitting the previous button.
Another example:
If the User selects Document C from G1Q1 and de-selects document C from G2Q1, he will see Document C de-selected from G1Q1, after hitting the previous button.
If the User doesn't select Document C from G1Q1 and and selects Document C from G2Q1, he will see Document C auto-selected from G1Q1, after hitting the previous button.
Problems
I tried to use your code but it says "Missing close parenthesis"
Then I tried to re-factor the parenthesis, but it says "Function does not support too many arguments"
Then I re-interpreted your code and:
Then I tried to test the survey another time but:
See the video
The code from works however only one-way:
Document C of G1Q1---> Document C of G2Q1 (bind OK)
Document C of G1Q1 <--- Document C of G2Q1 (bind FAIL)
Document C of G1Q1 ---> Document C of G2Q1 (bind FAIL)
Document C of G1Q1 <--- Document C of G2Q1 (bind ok)

Hi Denis, don't worry about the parenthesis.
I don't understand where to put your code (I changed your variables with the survey's ones)
question code: "question1"
question code: "isDone"
I tried that but it works only one-way.

G1Q1_C=if(is_empty(isDone.NAOK), if(G2Q1_F == "Y", "Y", ""), G1Q1_C.NAOK)
question code: "isDone"
G2Q1_F=if(is_empty(isDone.NAOK), if(G1Q1_C == "Y", "Y", ""), G2Q1_F.NAOK)

It seems that the two equations are fighting each other. I could not get it to work, even using simple equations that did not check for previous answers. If you use an equation to conditionally set Q1, you cannot use the value of Q1 in another conditional setting equation on the next page. It seems to return null.
(this might be seen as a bug)
As a workaround -JavaScript!
Place a script like this in the source of the first question:
And then something like this in the source of the second question:

, but i need a complet lss showing exact issue.

An error happen ? Before make a new topic : remind the Debug mode .

Here is a basic survey. The question value assignment does not work going forwards but does work going backwards.

Forward :
step1 (validation of current group) : 1st equation do Q1_SQ001= "" because Q1_SQ002 is empty
step2 (validation of next group) : 2nd equation do Q1_SQ002= "" because Q1_SQ001 is empty
Backward:
2nd equation didn't happen (we don't validate current group)
step2 (validation of previous group) : 1st equation do Q1_SQ001=Q1_SQ002 because Q1_SQ002 is empty *
I really think it's not an issue
And clearly :
step1 from forward happen
Possible solution : use more group ?
PS : i think usage of isDoneQ1 and isDoneQ2 can do the trick too.
PS2 : see wityh doneQ2 : partial fix. The issue is more «What is the condition to update (or not) Q1»
