šŸ’ One single form to rule them all

Ηι @anon81228582 , if I have understood your scenario correctly, if you use a single-select field in a branch and then add the same field to another branch it will NOT show up in the ā€˜Available fields’ part of the ā€˜Connected to’ list. However, if you scroll down to the ā€˜Already in use’ part of the ā€˜Connected to’ list you can still select the custom field you want, even if it is in use. Asana will simply have a warning triangle saying that it will essentially overwrite the first entry with the next.

However, this is not necessarily an issue if you use the same single-select field in more than one branch within the same primary question, as long as the path of your form’s branches will lead the submitter to select from this field only once.

If for some reason you cannot do that, then the below example concludes with a workaround…
Say you have a ā€˜Universe’ single-select field which is connected to the options that each are a branch to a further question related to that ā€˜universe’

If ā€˜Starwars’ is selected then within its branch you can have the following question that draws from the ā€˜Jedi’ field for answers on people’s ā€˜favourite’ choice

But if ā€˜Starwars’ is selected and then you also have a 2nd question within that same branch, you can still use the same (Jedi) choices as you did with the first question, which may make sense, however this will clearly create a problem for your results (as the yellow triangle icon will note).

The form will overwrite the choices for ā€˜favourite’ with the choices for ā€˜least favourite’ because you are using the same Single-select field for both answers. To solve this, you can (manually) create a duplicate of the ā€˜Jedi’ single-select field (with the same options) and rename them both these fields to ā€˜Favourite Jedi’ and ā€˜Least Favourite Jedi’ respectively so you can collect the correct answer to each question separately.

Hope that helps! :wink:
