Dynamic Hints

AmyAlford1

I have a question that I need to dynamically change the hint text based on the response to a previous select_one question. If a user selects 'ReIntro_Stocking', I want the hint to be 'What species?'. If they select any of the other 5 choices, I want the hint to be 'Best Description'. This question ${Cons_type} also has a choice_filter based on their selection in ${Cons_Category}

My hint code in connect for question ${Cons_type}: if(${Cons_Category}='ReIntro_Stocking', 'What species?', 'Best Description.')

All it seems to do is create a lightbulb and the same string of text that is in the code with the answer to ${Cons_Category} changing as choices change

You have to do your calculation first in a helper field, then you can call that in your hint.

${helperfield} calculation: if(${Cons_Category}='ReIntro_Stocking', 'What species?', 'Best Description.')

${Cons_type}  hint:  ${helperfield}
