Hi aymagdy,
Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. I'm not sure what the exact workaround you're looking for. Can you explain a bit more about the issue, so I can get a better idea of what's happening? Do you want to transfer the field question from one form to another? Or are you looking to transfer a field question to another field within a single form?
After we hear back from you, we’ll have a better idea of what’s going on and how to help.

Hi Ayman,
Thanks for sharing those details. That definitely clears things up. Right now, there’s no way to automatically take answers from one field and turn them into another field’s choices. As a workaround, you can create different versions of the second field that match the options from the first field, then use conditions to show the right one based on what’s selected in the first field. Let me show you how:
1. In Form Builder, click on Add Element menu on the left side of the page.
2. Under the Basic tab, look for the Single or Multiple Choice field, then drag and drop it onto your form.
3. Now, update its options based on what you expect the user will select from the first question. Let's use Option 2 and 3 as an example.
4. Next, right-click on the field, then choose Conditional Logic from the options.
5. Click on Add Condition in the next screen, then choose Show/Hide Field.
6. Set the condition as you see below, then click on Save.
And that's it. Question 2 will now show only if options 2 and 3 is selected from Question 1. You'd need to follow the same steps to create another version of Question 2 until all possible selections are covered. Check out the screencast below to see how it works now:
As for your other question, I moved that to its own thread to keep the conversation organized. Someone from our Support Team will help you with it here.
Give it a try and let us know if you need any more help.
