Hi, I’m using ethica for a study and trying to figure out how to set the criteria for a question. I need the multiple choice question to be enabled if the participant selects answer ID option 3 and/or 4 for the previous multiple choice question (Question ID 2). Is this possible? I tried Q2==3 OR Q2==4

Hi @anishaa

Let’s assume your survey has 2 pages, P1 and P2, and one multiple choice question in each page, Q1 and Q2. Q1 has 5 answers, with IDs from 1 to 5, and you want if the participant selects answer 3 and/or 4 be taken to P2 to answer Q2.

In this case, you should put this criteria on P2:

```auto
Q1 == 3 OR Q1 == 4

```

Which says P2 should be shown only if 3 is checked in Q1 from P1, or 4 is checked in Q1 from P1 (which covers the case where both selected as well).

Hope it helps,
