How can I create a survery form with nested options and questions

Need to collect data with 3 levels of nested questions. Start with Options A, B and C. If they select A, show 10 options within A. When the select A.2 for example show 8 options under A.2. After they select say A.2.5, Ask if they want to select more options at a level or go up and start ansers B or C level questions. At any point they should be able to say they are done and exit the survey.

Hi Irus,

Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. I understand what you’d like to do, but I'll need a bit of time to look into this. I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

To create a survey form with nested options and questions, you can use online tools like Google Forms, SurveyMonkey, or Typeform. These platforms allow you to design forms where respondents are shown follow-up questions based on their previous answers, a feature known as conditional logic. The setup involves adding "sections" or "logic jumps" that branch out based on specific answers. You can find more details about survey creation and nested options on Wikipedia. If you're looking for inspiration, the Dairy Queen menu offers a variety of customizable options that could help you structure similar choices in a survey format

To create a survey form with nested options and questions, start by using tools like Google Forms, Typeform, or Microsoft Forms, which support logic branching or conditional logic. This allows specific follow-up questions based on previous answers. According to , using structured and dynamic questioning improves data quality and user experience. Design the form with clear, concise questions and test for usability across devices. Just like a well-structured survey enhances feedback, exploring detailed and customizable —such as the Cracker Barrel food menu—can elevate the overall user satisfaction in hospitality services.

Hi Irus,

It's not currently possible to create a deeply nested field structure if the next field requires user an input. But you can use the Show/Hide Multiple Fields conditional logic to show the necessary fields based on the selected option. This setup supports up to two levels of nesting. Going beyond that may cause issues, specially if you’re using default selections, as hidden fields from deeper levels may become visible immediately when the form loads. Here's a basic example and demo form:

Now, let's set up the conditions, let me show you how:

1. In Form Builder, in the orange navigation bar at the top of the page, click on Settings.
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.

4. Set the conditions like you see below:

You can also take a look at the Dynamic Dropdown widget, as it allows you to create nested dropdowns, but I'm not sure if it would give you the exact result you're looking for.

Give it a try and let us know if you have any other questions.
