    Hello,

    As part of a randomized controlled trial, I am using an online questionnaire. I would like to know if your platform allows randomization of participants into two groups after they have answered an initial set of questions.

    Specifically:

    • Group A would see one set of follow-up questions.
    • Group B would see a different set of follow-up questions.

    Could you please confirm if this feature is available, and if so, guide me on how to set it up?

    Thank you in advance for your assistance.

    Best regards,

    Asma

    Hi Asma,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Jotform's Conditions feature lets you show questions based on the answers that people gave. Let me show you how to set it up:

    1. In Form Builder, click on the Add Form Element menu and drag-drop the fields you want to use as follow-up questions (I used Short Text fields in this example).

    2. Click on the Type a Question text and change it to the question you want to use.

    3. Now, right-click on the fields, and in the menu that opens, click on Hide.

    2. Click on Conditions on the left of the page.

    3. Now, click on Add a New Condition and then click on Show/Hide Field.
