Radio list labels based on previous answers was created by EdenResident
Hello, I'd like to create a survey that works like this.

A1. Please enter the names of the household members (multiple text input)
Person 1: [Textbox]
Person 2: [Textbox]
Person 3: [Textbox]
...

Person 10: [Textbox]


B1. Please select which HH member you would like to interview (Radio list)
  • Name of person 1 entered from A1
  • Name of person 2 entered from A1
  • ...
  • Name of person 10 entered from A1

Please let me know if this is possible. Thanks.

LimeSurvey is currently lacking answer relevance (multichoice answers are subquestions, which already have sub-question-relevance). You could use a multi-choice question with a answer limit of 1 (which would be the same as a radio button question) instead.

Displaying the entered text in a different question is not the problem.

There might be other workarounds, but the answer-relevance is overdue.

Hi jelo, thanks for the workaround. That works great for me. I have another question if you don't mind.

So after the user selects the member he wants to interview (from the multiple choice), I want to get and store that name. Provided that my variables are coded like this

A1:
PERSON
01 (subquestion)
02
...

B1:
SELECTEDPERSON
01 (subquestion - multiple choice)
02 (subquestion - multiple choice)
..

Then, to get the name of the selected person, I'd assume that the syntax would be like this {PERSON_{SELECTEDPERSON}}

However, the nesting of variables obviously didn't work for me. So, is there like an eval function in Limesurvey?

You can use nested IF statements to display the value from the first question. So, given the question and sub-question codes indicated above, something like this (line-breaks inserted for clarity):

Code:
{if(!is_empty(SELECTEDPERSON_01), PERSON_01, 
  if(!is_empty(SELECTEDPERSON_02), PERSON_02, 
    if(!is_empty(SELECTEDPERSON_03), PERSON_03, 
      if(!is_empty(SELECTEDPERSON_04), PERSON_04, 
        if(!is_empty(SELECTEDPERSON_05), PERSON_05, '')))))}
Cheers,
Tony Partner

Regarding using a multiple-choice question with maximum answers of 1 to replicate a radio question, you can insert this script in the question source to automatically uncheck other options as options are checked.

Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
 
  $(document).on('ready pjax:scriptcomplete',function(){
 
    // Identify this question
    var thisQuestion = $('#question{QID}');
 
    // Listener on the checkboxes
    $('input:checkbox', thisQuestion).on('change', function(e) {
      if($(this).is(':checked')) {
        $('input:checkbox', thisQuestion).not(this).prop('checked', false).trigger('change');
      }
    });
  });
</script>

Here is a small sample survey incorporating both of these concepts:

Tony, since I forgot to ask the thread-starter what LS version is in use, we should add that your nice workaround is for LS 3.X.

That answer-relevance is not available in LS3 and LS4 as well, is a pity (or more).

Answer option relevance now!

;-)
Help us to help you!
  • Provide your LS version and where it is installed (own server, uni/employer, SaaS hosting, etc.).
  • Always provide a LSS file (not LSQ or LSG).
Note: I answer at this forum in my spare time, I'm not a LimeSurvey GmbH employee.

Thanks, tpartner. I was able to do that with nested ifs.
