Yes, you can reduce or filter options in a question based on a previous answer in Google Forms using the "Go to section based on answer" feature or conditional logic. Here's how you can do it:
Method 1: Using "Go to section based on answer" Create multiple sections in your form for different sets of questions.
Click on the "Add section" button (two horizontal lines) to create a new section for the next set of questions. Create the first question that will determine the options for the next question. For example, a multiple-choice question asking "What type of product are you interested in?"
Set up conditional logic for the second question:
In your form, add a new question (e.g., a dropdown or multiple-choice question) that will display different options based on the answer to the first question. Click on the three dots (⋮) on the bottom-right of the first question and select "Go to section based on answer." For each option in the first question, specify which section should follow, based on the user's response. Customize the second question in each section to show relevant options based on the first answer.
Example:
If the first question asks "What type of product are you interested in?" and you have options like "Electronics" and "Clothing," you can create separate sections for each type. In the "Electronics" section, ask about specific electronic products, and in the "Clothing" section, ask about clothing-related questions. Method 2: Using "Response validation" and hidden sections for dynamic filtering Though Google Forms doesn't allow dynamically hiding individual options in a multiple-choice or dropdown question based on a prior answer (like some other platforms), you can set up your form structure with sections and conditional navigation, as described above.
By combining sections and navigating between them based on responses, you can effectively "filter" the next set of options for the user.
