šŸ’ One single form to rule them all

Ī—Ī¹ @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 fieldsā€™ part of the ā€˜Connected toā€™ list. However, if you scroll down to the ā€˜Already in useā€™ part of the ā€˜Connected toā€™ 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 formā€™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 workaroundā€¦
Say you have a ā€˜Universeā€™ single-select field which is connected to the options that each are a branch to a further question related to that ā€˜universeā€™

If ā€˜Starwarsā€™ is selected then within its branch you can have the following question that draws from the ā€˜Jediā€™ field for answers on peopleā€™s ā€˜favouriteā€™ choice

But if ā€˜Starwarsā€™ 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€˜favouriteā€™ with the choices for ā€˜least favouriteā€™ because you are using the same Single-select field for both answers. To solve this, you can (manually) create a duplicate of the ā€˜Jediā€™ single-select field (with the same options) and rename them both these fields to ā€˜Favourite Jediā€™ and ā€˜Least Favourite Jediā€™ respectively so you can collect the correct answer to each question separately.

Hope that helps! :wink:
