I see that I can set conditions when a questions should be asked.
Is there a possibilty to set conditions after a answer, that if answerd XX the next questions should be XX and if the answer was XX the next questions should be XX.

for Ex

Questions No 1 which fruit do you like ? (if you like more than one of them choosethe first) Answers 1 Apple, 2 Kiwi, 3 Orange
I have 5 following questions for every answer, that means that questions No 2-6 only apply for someone answered the first questions that he likes Apple, and questions No 7-11 only apply for those ansewered Kiwi, so I want to set the condition if the answer was Apple go to question No 2, and if the answer was Kiwi go to question No 7

In Google Forms they have this option, is it possible in Lime survey

The difficulty in this style is when there are some questions that depend on a specific answer, because when you want to change the condition, you have to change this in all the related questions.

suggestion for administrators and developers:
Perhaps it is possible to develop to be able to connect a question to a different question, for example, it should be able to set a condition that question No 3-6 are asked only if question No 2 was asked, or alternatively, it should be able to relate questions to others as this question No 3-6 are relates to question No 2.

In this way, we will be able to set conditions only for question No 2, and the rest will be automated according to the conditions of question 2.

THANKS

There has been a lot of discussion in the past about jumping and the current relevance approach.

The relevance approach is very flexible, but can be a little bit tedious when you need to replicate "long jumps". However, currently and probably also for the near future (couple of years) I don't see any implementation of jumps into Limesurvey.

You will have take this into account when creating your questionnaire. Sometimes, with a clever structure in your questionnaire you can reduce the amount of relevance equations you need to set, but currently in your example you need to apply a relevance (or condition, but relevance is much quicker to implement) for each question you want to show/hide based on question 2 (so questions 3-6). Actually, your example is a fairly simple one, it could be much worse... ;-)

My above suggestion could probably be done with a small development, the conditions which you have now is that a question is asked only if the above answer was XX, maybe it can be developed that a question shoulb be asked only if the above question was asked.

Already done (maybe some issue with subquestion : must be fixed)
