Deleting previously entered information when a new selection is made Survery 123 Connect

Question

Hey all,

I am working on a survey and I have a select one choice question "ProjectType". What I want to ensure is that if a user clicks one project type and begins filling information about but then changes their mind and selects another project type, the previous entered information is deleted.  Does anyone have any ides?

Thanks Christopher,

My mind was tracking the same way but I wanted to exhaust all my options.

I don't believe calculation modes allow for this as users changing a value manually acts as an override.

You could theoretically add a set of null questions for each project type and then apply relevancy and calculations to push the final answer... But that's convoluted and will only work in very specific scenarios.

Best option might be to add UI elements like notes, hints, or a page, encourage the user to enter correctly before completing the survey.
