Is it possible to use an if then statement to populate the answer to another question?

I have a series of questions about the exterior of a house such as: roof, gutters, siding, chimney, foundation, etc.  Each question can pick from a list (select_one), 1 (Intact), 2 (Replace), 3 (Remove).  Can I create a select_all_as question so that if they choose 1 from the list as “Intact” it will populate all the remaining questions, roof, gutters, siding, chimney, foundation, etc. as 1?

Hi Heath, 

Currently we don't support calculating values on a select_one question.  For what you're trying to accomplish, I think there is another way that might work.  There is a function called coalesce that allows you to get 'the first non-empty value in a set of questions'.  This can be used in combination with relevancy to hide/show all or the individual responses and then get the response for use in another field.  See the attached XLSForm.
