Auto select the "choice" of a mutiple choice question based on the selection of the prior mutiple choice question

For example is it possible do the following with the two multiple choice questions?

Question 1
Choice a
Choice b

Question 2
Choice a
Choice b

If Choice a is selected from question 1 is there a way to automatically select Choice b in Question 2?

I don't believe it's possible to do what you're describing. You can set a default value for a multiple select question by setting that question's "Default Value" field to a space-separated list of the choice IDs you'd like selected, (eg "choice_a choice_c"). However, I don't believe you can use the result of a question to pre-populate another question.

You may be able to work around this limitation by doing something like:

  • Question 1
  • "Select 'yes' if your answers to question 2 differ from question 1"
  • Question 2 (only display if they chose 'yes' above)
  • Question 2 result
    • if(#form/questions_differ = 'yes', #form/question_2, #form/question_1)

Thank you so much for the response! I super appreciate the effort in your example.
