It will be convenient to be able to write values into hidden multi and matrix questions. For example, if branch survey to version 1 and 2, and version 1 will get a set of values to show in later question, and version 2 will get another set of values to be in hidden questions. But these variables are common in some aspects so they can be grouped in a multi or matrix questions.

The current ’sgapiSetValue’ allow writing value into hidden single/essay questions only. This will require to include a set of single/essay questions as hidden and use script to define each one. With multi/matrix hidden available, all hidden data can be written into one hidden question.

If this can be done, it will also require to be able to ‘merge code’ with multi/matrix questions into question text.

Hi Ed,
This can be done already, although it’s rather difficult. You will have to “view source” on the survey to get the question skus of each row.

You would then write a script to loop through all those skus and insert values into them.

Depending on the use, I would find it easier to just concatenate all the values into one long delimited string and put that in a hidden value.

Hope this helps,
Chad
