Piping an Image forward as an Image Choice Option in next Image Choice question

I know how to pipe a text choice forward to be added as an option in the next question.  But how do I do this for a selected image (i.e. piping it forward as an option in next image choice question)?


Also, when a single text choice was piped from a prior question, its radio button was automatically selected.  Is there some way I can turn this off because I don't want the user to be lazy and not review the other answer options?

Hey, Aaron!

Unfortunately we don't offer the ability to pipe selected options into an image select question.

I'm looking into the radio button problem to see if thats something we can fix – I'll get back to you asap on that.

Aaron,

I've tried to duplicate the radio button problem but I've been unable to. When I select to pipe the options from a checkbox to a radio button question when only one checkbox is selected (whether there are additional static options or not) it is never pre-selected for me.

What browser are you using when this happens?

Hi Jonathan,

Thanks for your replies.

Too bad about the inability to pipe an image forward to another image choice question.  This would be really helpful for trying to determine a winning creative concept.  For example, in the first question ask the user to select the winning image from 4 options (don't want to present too many options) and then pipe the winner to the next question and ask user to select the winner amongst 3 new competitors.

Anyway, I'm piping from a radio button question to another radio button question.  The piped selected answer text is pre-selected and appears at the bottom of the randomized list of options.  I am using IE 7.0.

Thanks again.

Hey, Aaron!

Right – I've taken note of the idea to see if its something we might be able to incorporate into a later version of SurveyGizmo.

The piping problem – it looks like if you piped options from a radio button question to another radio button question that had at least 1 static (pre-existing/non-piped) option and you randomized the options, it would pre-select the piped option. We've fixed that up so it should be working just fine now. Thanks for the info – it helps us find a very rare bug!

Hi,


Any progress on the idea of piping an image choice from one question to the next?  I have this same need for a survey I am coding now, where I want to present 4 images, have the respondent select one, and present that choice with 3 new images, and so forth, so that the respondent can pick the best image out of many.  This is a very important requirement for my survey.


Thanks,

Matt.

Hey, Matt!

It has made its way onto our feature development list, but has not been completed yet. Sorry! :-(

Thanks Jonathan.  I am using HTML to create tables rather than one line options for a radio select question as a work around.  I can then pipe the selected one forward, or even better use scripting to control the display of a selected option in future questions.


Cheers,

Matt.

No piping from images, but what about show/hide triggers?  I'm trying to do that as an alternative to piping, but it seems there is no way to have an image option be a trigger for a subsequent hidden question. 

This presumed capacity was the main reason my company went with Gizmo over your competitors. We are building a design packed service-ordering tool that relies on respondents being able to choose among images and then further refine based on their previous image selections. As far as I can tell the only way to do this is to create many different paths through the survey with a lot of repeat questions and virtually no piping or show/hides.  Maybe I'm missing something?

Hey, Tammy! We don't actually offer the ability to use a same-page Show/Hide trigger with Image Choice questions, but you can still use the Page and Question Show/Hide rules to accomplish near the same thing, they'll just be separated across pages.

On the other hand, I do think its a good feature request, so I've recommended the ability to use Image Choice as a show hide trigger to our feature requests list and passed it off to our development team.
