Overview
You can create a reference bubble to display in the question label the answer to a previous question. Just like reference bubbles in logic, you can drag the question from the Question Tree to the label of the question where you want it displayed, or use the hashtag. When you drag the question onto the label box in the Basic Question Properties you will see a green check mark indicating that you can release the cursor.
If you drag a date question into a question label, you can choose options for formatting:
- No formatting (displays the date in the default date format)
- DD/MM/YY (21/02/2012)
- DDD, MMM DD, YYYY (Fri, Sep 12, 2014)
Examples
Example
This question is displaying the answer to "edd_calc" in the label. On the phone, #form/edd_calc will appear to the user as whatever edd_calc is defined as. For example "Her estimated date of delivers is /02/2012" or "Her estimated date of delivery is Fri, Sep 12, 2014"
Other notes about output expressions:
- An output expression will not update automatically if it relies on a question (or on a hidden value that relies on a question) that appears on the same page/screen (if you are using a Question List) as the output expression. Bear this in mind when deciding where to place an output expression.
