Hello, I am having problems because I want to generate subquestions in a multiple choice question separated by commas.
This is an example of the participant attribute value: "AF1, AQ3, AV9" I want to have 3 subquestions but I want the possibility if another participant has more values to add more subquestions.
Thank you very much.

Hi,
What I understand is:
There is a question of type "multiple" with subquestions coded "AF1", "AQ3", "AV9", and some more
Now one participant has an additional attribute "AF1, AQ3, AV9"; another participant may have "AF3, AP7, AV9, AR1, AB5"

And you want to show the resp. subquestions.

If this is correct, you do this with the function "strpos(haystack,needle)" as subquestion condition,
like
strpos(TOKEN:ATTRIBUTE_1,"AF1")>0

Make sure that the result of the function is not 0; 0 means "not found".
You can do this by adding some character at the start of the attribute, like "#AF1, AQ3, AV9"

Why did you not only ignore the questions at the beginning, no, you removed them.
It is not a joke that we ask these questions.

Hello, thank you very much for the reply, what I meant was: I have a participant that in the attribute1 has codes separated by commas for example ABC1,DEF2,GHI3 and has no limit can have many or 1, so what I want is to generate subquestions where each option is a code, I don't care about the code of the sub-question and also the code of the participant., the thing is that I generate x subquestions for x values of the attribute that are separated by commas.
So the attribte_1:" ABC1,DEF2,GHI3"
Q1:Choose code:
sbq1: ABC1
sbq2: DEF2
sbq3: GHI3
I hope this is now better understood and thank you very much.

So in the attribute there's not the code but the text of the subquestions

Right in the attribute there can be codes or anything else, the important thing is that it is separated by commas and I want each sub-question to be generated for each comma, so to speak. So if the attribute_1 has: "apple, pear, watermelon" in the multiple option question I want to have 3 options 1 for each fruit.

Please, do not use the word "codes" for something that is neither a question code nor a subquestion code.

You still didn't answer the questions at the beginning about version, hosting, etc.

Have you rights to use javascript?
If not it will be difficult as there's no implemented function to split a text.
So you have to do this with some "equations".

On the other side it shouldn't be too difficult to split this list beforehand and save it in several attributes.
