Using "Allow Text Entry" result as Piped Data in a Loop & Merge block

I have a multiple select option that allows text entry for an "other" choice at the bottom. Then I use the selected options from that question in a Loop & Merge block with a collection of other questions. I can the piped text variable ${lm://Field/1} to get the selected question, as a header for the next block, for example:

Please tell me more about ${lm://Field/1}

But on the "other" choice, that will just say:

Please tell me more about other

I would like it to use the value of the Text Entry field, but I can't find a piped text variable that would give me that.

Solution

  • You want to pipe "Selected Choices - Entered Text" aka:

    ${q://QID1/ChoiceGroup/SelectedChoicesTextEntry}

    That will pipe the text entry of the selected choice(s) that have text entry and the selected choice(s) for the choices that don't have text entry.
