Substituting a response from a previous question
1 Create the question from which you want to take the substitution text. For example, add a text question named FavoriteDestination with the question text: If you could take a vacation anywhere in the world, where would you go?
2 Create the question in which you want to add the substitution text. For example, create a text question called Reason.
3 In the question text field, add the text for the question. In the place where you want the substituted text to appear, enter:
{#FavoriteDestination}
Example
To insert the response from the FavoriteDestination question into the text of the Reason question, enter something like this:
Why did you choose {#FavoriteDestination}?
When the interview is run, the substitution text is replaced by the response text.
