I think the clarity is the current problem. I don't like the =20 use-the-name business. It's fine, I suppose, that it's implemented =20 that way under the hood, but the user should be able to click a check =20 box that says "This question is a follow-up to the previous question". =20 No one but we programmers would remember that you need to do "q1" =20 and "q1_followup" to make it work. bishop Quoting Franky Van Liedekerke <lie...@te...>: > I already figured that out :-) > I don't object to it myself, but it should be clear to the survey designer > when creating his questions ... > > Franky > > > On 1/25/08, Bishop Bettini <ph...@id...> wrote: >> >> I started with !other (yes, changing its label with !other=3DFoobarbaz), >> but that wasn't what I needed ... unless I was mis-using it. >> >> As I understand it, !other allows you to add in write-in responses >> **to a list of predetermined choices**.
