How to filter a supplementary text element

You can set a filter on a Supplementary text element to insert text for a particular question, based on an answer given in another question.

Example

[gender] is a question about gender (answers are Male and Female).

[age] is a question about age (answers are less than 18 years, 18-39 years, and 40+ years).

[dolls] is a question about dolls, “Did you play with dolls when you were a child?” This question will answered “Less than 18 years” in [age]. You need to set a filter (\age=1) in the sub question.

You also want to address the respondent in [dolls] with “Young Lady” respectively “Young Man”. To do this, you need to set a filter on the Supplementary text element applicable to the respondent. The way to do this is to enter the text: “young man” respectively “Young woman” in two different elements and filter these by their answers:
