There are basically two ways to display the answers given in a follow-up question:
- All answers: If you want to display all the answers given in a follow-up question, simply use the question number as a placeholder, e.g., [Q5]. This placeholder lists all the answers selected for question 5 one after another, separated by commas.
- Individual answers: If you want to display only specific answers, add the respective answer number (counted from top to bottom) to the question number, e.g., [Q5-A1] or [Q5-A3]. In this case, only the corresponding answers will be included — but only if the participant selected them. Otherwise, nothing will be displayed.
| Hint Answer piping only works on subsequent pages, not on the same question page. To test this, please open the “live” poll — it is not technically possible to do so within the poll preview. |
