==================
Hi there,

How would I make the text entered into the 'other' option of a multiple choice question appear in the following multiple numerical input question (with the inclusion of an array filter)?

E.g -
The first question (multiple choice) has a list of oil brands including an 'Other': Specify option.
Respondent selects each brand they purchase (BP, Caltex & 'Other': Castrol).
In the next question (multiple numerical input) they need to specify the percentage of monthly purchases of each brand.
I've put in an array filter that pulls BP & Caltex from the first question but how do I get it to pull the text inserted in 'Other' (Castrol) so that they can enter a percentage for this as well?

Thanks in advance,
Amirah

Add a subquestion with code other ,and put for txt {Q00_other.shown}

Q00 must be replaced by the 1st question code

Code:
{Q00_other.shown}

Wouldn't that show the answer option text for the other item?

I understand that he wants to get the response to the other field. Shouldn that be just {Q00_other}?

Hi,

Thanks so much! This was a big help.
I had tried the solution with with code {Q00_other.shown} but the text was not filtering to the next question, but with {Q00_other.} it filters as needed.

I never remind if we must use Q00_other.shown or Q00_other.NAOK …

Then Q00_other.NAOK (better than Q00_other) show the Other text put by participant ?
Great … mist remind for next time …
