Hi

Would it be possible to have a “connect related terms” kind of a question type?

For example:

apple - fruit
            - furniture
            - animal

dog   - fruit
          - furniture
          - animal

chair - fruit
          - furniture
          - animal

but without having those in 3 separate questions.

For example, you would enter in entry in the eexam field the following:

apple (fruit)
dog (animal)
chair (furniture)

and on the front end you would get something like this:

apple (select dropdown with 3 possible answers - fruit, animal, furniture)
dog (select dropdown with 3 possible answers - fruit, animal, furniture)
chair (select dropdown with 3 possible answers - fruit, animal, furniture)

How complicated is to achieve something like this, is it even possible?
If it is, could you give us few pointers?

Thanks a lot for a great addon and your great support! :)

For setting up a basic new question see:

You will have to figure out the best way of storing the choices and options. Might be easiest to use the choices question type and enter your data as a piped string i.e.

Then on the field() method you would have to loop through all choices, explode the strings and build the necessary select inputs.
