Insert Answer from Previous Question

Insert answers from previous questions

LimeSurvey allows you to insert answers from previous questions into the text of a question.

• You can refer to answers on the same page and even dynamically update tailored messages as responses change on the page.
  
• You can do this by using question code naming.  For more details, refer to the ExpressionScript documentation.
  

A wizard has been integrated in the WYSIWYG HTML editor (FCKeditor) so that you can easily insert previous question/answer codes. This plugin is called LimeReplacementFields. 

In order to use this feature in the FCKeditor:

1. Click the "lime between brackets" icon.
   
2. Select a question from the select box.
   

Only answers from previous pages are displayed.

LimeReplacementFields notice: When you want to delete a reference to a {name} tag, please select all characters from the opening bracket to the closing bracket and press delete: DO NOT erase it character by character with the delete or backspace key, otherwise the field will appear again.
