    I have a form that asks about someones "Marital Status" and this is in formatted in a "Dropdown" box. I have the same question asked again later one, but this time, its in the form of a "Single Choice". 

    Is there a way that I can set the Dropdown to match with the Single Choice?

    Thanks!!!!

    Hello! Yes this is possible. You can simply set your redirect link in the following format: https://form.jotform.com/[FORM-ID]?maritalStatus={maritalStatus}

    1. {maritalStatus} is the field name of your dropdown in the first form from which the user will be redirect to another form.
    2. maritalStatus is the field name of the Single Choice field on the second form whose value we are going to set.

    If you wish to see this functionality in action, then please visit: https://form.jotform.com/201846178831056

    Once this form is submitted, you'll be presented with a link; on clicking it, you'll be redirected to the second form and the value of the Single Choice field will be automatically set.

    I hope this helps. If you have any further queries, feel free to ask.

    What if this is in the same JotForm, but asked about 60 questions later? The example you gave seemed as if it were two different JotForms.

    You can achieve your requirements by creating a condition that will pass the data from the dropdown field to the single choice field in your form.

    Here's a sample form. https://form.jotform.com/201846556331051

    Here's the condition I am referring to that is added in that form.
