i have a multiple choice question:

1. which of the following drugs have you ever taken?

alcohol

tobacco

cannabis

….

the responses pipe into the next question:

2. which of the following drugs have you taken in the past 6 months

the responses from this question then pipe to:

3. on how many days have you taken [piped drug] in the past 30 days?

this all works perfectly. BUT, i realised that for question 2, how many drugs they'd taken in the past 6 months, i needed to have a “NONE” option. so i've entered it in manually, and had the remaining options piped from question 1. so it looks like this:

2. which of the following drugs have you taken in the past 6 months

NONE

[piped drug 1]

[piped drug 2]

… and so on

the only problem is that having the NONE value in question 2 causes a glitch for question 3, and now no values are piped from question 2.

obviously, if someone selects NONE in question 2, they'll skip question 3 and be sent to another page. but, even if someone doesn't select NONE, it causes problems for question 3.

is this a bug or is there some rationale in not letting me do this???

many thanks,

faustus

Hi Faustus,

Sorry I think I misunderstood your question. 

You're piping from an option piped question that has a pre-existing option.

This is something we cannot do in the current version.  However you can do this in the next version of SurveyGizmo, and will be avaliable when Version 2 is released.

In the mean time there is a work around to this issue.  Just remove the option from the piped question, put it into the trigger question, set it as the default, then hide the option with a bit of CSS.

I copied your survey and created an example for you called: “final: religious experience and schizotypy Copy”

Hope this helps,

Chad

Hey, Faustus!

I added the survey back to your account, its in your “In Design” section. :-)
