hide dropdown option when selected

    Asked on September 26, 2019 at 6:48 AM

    Hello,

    We launched our survey this morning and it is only now that we noticed the following problem:

    We have three questions (choice of workshop)  on the same 10 choices. Each time the participants should choose a different option  from the three questions.

    The problem is that once they have selected choice 1, this choice should note appear again for the other 2 questions.

    However, I cannot fix this via the conditions, as I need to deal with the replies and note the question as such.

    Please help as the form is currently available.

    Kind regards,
    Natali

    Unfortunately, we cannot remove the options in your dropdown field using conditions.

    You may try using the asmSelect widget. This widget will deselect the option selected.

    Sample screen cast:

    Then we can use conditions to identify the value by using the Form Calculation widget.

    To set this up,

    1) add a Form calculation widget to calculate the value of your asmSelect widget

    2)Use conditions to show the fields when the value is true in the Calculation widget.

    In our condition, we will be using "contains" rather than the exact value to show the field.

    Do note that the sample form will only show the three options at the moment.
