Answer piping

Repeat back what someone told you — their name in a later question, their score on the ending screen.

Inserting a token

Every question title and description has a token picker beside its label, and so do the welcome and ending screens. Click it and choose what to insert — you never have to type an id.

  • {{a question}} inserts what the respondent answered.
  • {{a value}} inserts something the form worked out. See the scoring guide.
  • A multi-choice answer reads as a sentence: “A, B and C”, not “A,B,C”.

Two rules worth knowing

  • The picker only offers questions asked before the one you are editing. Piping an answer nobody has given yet would always be blank, so it is not offered.
  • An unresolved token renders as nothing at all — never the raw braces. Someone reading “Thanks {{name}}” learns only that the form is broken; “Thanks” reads as an ordinary greeting.

Piped text is always plain text. If an answer contains something that looks like markup, it appears as those literal characters — a form can never be used to inject anything into another respondent's page.

Where it works

Question titles and descriptions, welcome and ending screens, calculated field prefixes and suffixes, and outcome text. It works the same on a single-page form, a multi-step form and a Studio canvas — and inside a translated sentence, wherever the translator moved the token to.
