Is There a Shortcut to Group Suggestions Without Creating Many Fields?

Hey Fellows!
I’m building a form with 10 questions, each having the same options: Strongly agree, agree, neutral, disagree, strongly disagree.
For each of these questions I have prepared a unique suggestion. When the user submits the form, I want to present the suggestions to the user mainly in a pdf form also in a read only field (though this option I am still considering).
The suggestions would be presented in 5 different groups, title of which is the same as the option of the questions i.e. (Strongly agree, agree, neutral, disagree, strongly disagree.). Now:

1. If Question 1 = Strongly Agree → Suggestion 1 should appear under the Strongly Agree section in the PDF.
2. If Question 2 = Agree → Suggestion 2 should appear under the Agree section.
3. If Question 3 = Strongly Agree → Suggestion 3 should appear under Strongly Agree as well, under Suggestion 1.

So answer in PDF should look like:

1. Strongly Agree
   Suggestion 1
   Suggestion 3
2. Agree
   suggestion 4

And so on. I made 5 different fields. For each grouping. But the logics I used and the calculate or copy field would replace the previous value. I could still do it by creating 5 possibility answer for each, on which logic would be applied and then they would send combined data to a 6th field. So in total I would have to make 60 fields. Is there any other shortcut way?

Hi Ahsan,

Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Unfortunately, within Jotform's native features, there is no shortcut to dynamically append multiple suggestions into a single field without replacing previous values, which leads to the need for multiple fields and complex conditional logic as you described.

The workaround you mentioned, creating multiple possibilities for each answer and combining them into a final field, is the typical approach, even though it results in many fields. You can group the submissions based on their answers in Jotform Tables for better data management after submission, but this does not affect the PDF output formatting.

For more dynamic or efficient grouping and concatenation of suggestions in the PDF, external processing or custom scripting after submission would be necessary, but this is beyond Jotform's built-in capabilities.

Let us know if you have any other questions.
