Please help us help you and fill where relevant:

Survey theme/template:
==================
I am currently designing a survey for my PhD. Maybe it just can't be made, but well. I have in mind how I want to structure the survey, and apparently Limesurvey is the only software that provides me the versatility I need. I am not a coding expert, but I managed to do almost everything until this point. Here it goes:
I need the users to provide five items ("Item 1", "Item 2", "Item 3", "Item 4", "Item 5"). They can name the items using free text.
Question type: Multiple short text.
Question: Please, name five items.
Subquestions: Item 1; Item 2; Item 3; Item 4; Item 5
Then, I need them to evaluate each one of these items in 5 different sets of indicators, with a value from one to 5. To do so, I designed a simple Array(Numbers). The Y-Scale Subquestions are "Item 1; Item 2; Item 3; Item 4; Item 5", while the X-Scale Subquestions are "Indicator 1; Indicator 2; Indicator 3; Indicator 4; Indicator 5". The respondent just need to go to the corresponding cell and pick a number from the dropdown list.
As in the previous question the respondant gave a name to each item, I want to know if it's possible that these name apprear as the "headers" for the Y-Scale Subquestions. E.g., if the respondant answers in Q1 are "Item 1=Table, Item 2=Chair, Item 3=Laptop, Item 4=Mouse, Item 5=Screen", then the Y-Scale Subquestions in Q2 will change according to the answer, and be "Table;Chair;Laptop;Mouse;Screen".
I hope I explained it well.
Is this doable? I'll be really grateful if someone can answer that.
Thank you a lot to you all!!!

Volunteers are not paid.
Not because they are worthless, but because they are priceless
