    Probably not needed, but here's an example:


    Q1: Hi, what's your name?

    A1: Luke


    Q2: Ok, nice to meet you Luke! Where are you from?

    A2: [...]

    You can pass an input field's value to a field label using the field's UNIQUE NAME.

    Once you have the field's unique name, use that within the label of the question where you want it to populate and enclose it with curly braces {uniqueName}.

    In the example above, the full name field's unique name is hiWhats so it was placed as {hiWhats} on the next question.

    Ok, nice to meet you {hiWhats} Where are you from?
