Piping from a Checkbox Question Into Multi-Slider

Unfortunately the multi-sliders question does not have piping as a feature, but we can do this through a custom script as illustrated here.

For this to work the target question must be setup with slider option names which correspond to the option titles of the source questions, with automatic piping turned off.

This script uses the following custom scripting functions:

• sgapiGetValue
• sgapiGetQuestionOptions
• sgapiIn_Array
• sgapiRemoveOption
• sgapiCount
• sgapiJumpToPage

The Script

The script below requires for us to plugin the question id of the the source checkbox question, the id of the target multi-sliders question and the id of the next page to jump to if there are no sliders to show as a result of the filtering.

%%source_id = 22;
%%target_id = 53;
%%next_page_id = 2;

%%checkbox = sgapiGetValue(%%source_id);
%%multi_textbox = sgapiGetQuestionOptions(%%target_id);

%%hidden_options = 0;
foreach(%%multi_textbox as %%id => %%title){

   if(!(sgapiIn_Array(%%title, %%checkbox))){

      sgapiRemoveOption(%%target_id,%%title);
      %%hidden_options += 1;
   }

}

if(sgapiCount(%%multi_textbox) == %%hidden_options){

   sgapiJumpToPage(%%next_page_id);

}

In the script above you will need to customize variables highlighted in yellow in order to make the script work the way you'd like.

Required Customizations

%%source_id - This variable will indicate the question ID of the source Checkbox question.

%%target_id - This variable will indicate the question ID of the target Multi-sliders question.

%%next_page_id - The page to jump to if no options are selected in the checkbox question which correspond to the option titles of each of the multi-slider options.
