How to populate a specific matrix field with the value from a question previously selected in the form

    I'd like to populate a specific field in my matrix with the value from a specific question earlier in the form.

    The column of row titles corresponds to the questions that were asked earlier in the form.

    Next to that row title column, is a column labeled yes/no.  I'd like to see the Yes or No populated in the matrix automatically, based on the answer selected earlier in the form which corresponds to the relative row title. 

    Is there a condition that will allow me to do this?

    This is possible with 'Update a form field value' conditions added via our old user interface.

    To switch between our old and new UI, use the next links.

    Old UI:

    New UI

    Condition:

    Result:

    Conditional output to the Matrix field is not yet implemented in the new UI.
