Form Branch to Custom Field

English Forum Tips and Tricks
1

I have a form with several sub-branches, and I want the sub-branch to populate a custom field in the table view of my project.

For example, a user can pick Sesame Street or Pawnee from the parent question on the form. Picking Sesame Street will then branch to ask them to pick Bert, Ernie, Big Bird or Oscar the Grouch. Picking Pawnee branches to ask them to pick Leslie, Ben, April, Ron or Ann.

I’ve successfully mapped the parent question to a custom field, but can’t get the branch options mapped.

If I create a custom field in table view, and pick Single Select, I can’t pick the existing branch from my form. And if I type in one set of branch responses, it replaces the existing form options and I can’t have separate sets of branch responses.

Is there a way to do this?

@Ashley_Gutierrez_Sil when you add the branch question into the form, you have to make sure that it matches the custom field type. So if your custom field is a single select, you must make the new question single select before searching for the field to add. You would need separate fields for Cast A (Bert, Ernie, Big Bird or Oscar the Grouch) and Cast B (Leslie, Ben, April, Ron or Ann). A field can only be used once per form.
