Creating a dynamic question/answer page

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 19

I have a canvas app where a user is able to select options from a dropdown box (Figure 1). The options provided in this dropdown box are sourced from SharePoint, they are all listed on single lines. Once the user submits, they are taken to the next page (Figure 2) where I want them to be able to see and answer questions relating to the options they have selected.

 

I have added "(1/7)" for now, as an example of what I would like to achieve. I am not sure where or how to store the questions as for some options there will only be 2 questions, and for others there could be up to 10. I know that for example, I can hardcode 10 columns into a collection, however I would like the user to be able to add a new question in SharePoint, and have a gallery dynamically update to include the new question.

 

Would really appreciate if anyone could provide a solution for this. Many thanks!

    If I'm reading correctly, it seems that you want to add a new column to a list...is that correct?

    If so, this is not possible to do.  I would suggest that you have a list that has questions and answers that have identifying columns that match back to an original question.

     

    So in other words, a list that has the questions in it (record after record - so that your question list can be dynamic) and another list that would have the question ID in it and the answer from the user, plus some column to identify the user.

     

    I hope this is helpful for you.

    if you track the user imputing answers, and have a common id for this users session, you could assign each existing question an id number and leave the columns generic, allowing the user to add questions and answers, as well as allowing for as many or as few answers as necessary.
