Auto-populate skipped questions with "Not applicable"

IzayPantanilla1 — Sun, 05 Nov 2017 06:41:04 GMT

Hello,

We are creating a survey that has a lot of relevant questions. I'd like to know if it's possible to auto-populate skipped questions with the response "Not applicable."

In the example below, is it possible to automatically return the answer "Not applicable" for the toppings field if I answered "No" to the "Do you like pizza?" question. What formula/syntax should I use for this?

Thank you.

Izay

Hi Izay,

Yes, this is possible using the "null" esri fieldType on your select_multiple and then a hidden field with a calculation for the final answer. The "null" field type was introduced in 2.4 and is perfect for your use case. Using your example of pizza and toppings, this is how I would do it:

Note that only the like_pizza and toppings fields will get created in the schema.

Regards,

Phil.
