Multiple Choice answers with branching per answer
Hello RobElliott ,
My company is progressively migrating from Typeform to Microsoft Forms. A simple If.. else logic is handled by typeform : If answer 1 and 3 are checked, then go to step number X, else if answer 5 is checked and not answer 2, go to step number Y, etc...
It was quite easy to maintain that kind of form, so I would like this feature a lot in Forms !
adriengCorum , That sounds great.
Do you have to do else if statements for every permutation? Or can it just be if a choice is not selected, go to end?
Eg. in BeckyLC's example, if "None" is selected she wants it to branch to the next question.
In Typeform, can it just be if None is selected, go to next, else if None is not selected, go to end?Or would she need to have option for moving on for every possible combination:
None,
None+Challenges,
None+EducationalLunch&Learn,
None+FitnessBootCamp,
None+Yoga,
None+Other,
None+Challenges+EducationalLunch&Learn,
None+Challenges+EducationalLunch&Learn+FitnessBootCamp,
None+Challenges+EducationalLunch&Learn+FitnessBootCamp+Yoga,
None+Challenges+EducationalLunch&Learn+FitnessBootCamp+Yoga+Other,

Sure, it may seem a bit verbose, but at least it's possible if it's an implementation requirement. It's called Logic jumps, more details on Typeform official documentation: https://help.typeform.com/hc/en-us/articles/360029576011-How-to-set-Logic-Jumps-Classic-builder-
Yes, possible & unwieldy can still be better than not possible.
I just wanted some clarification on how it worked in this other tool.
I wasn't trying to imply it was worse; I was just curious in case anyone at my workplace asks me if there are tools that will do multi-answer branching, since Forms free currently doesn't.
