I have a question that asks participants what their preferred name is (e.g. "Joe" instead of "Joseph"). Can I then fill in "Joe" in future questions?

E.g.

First field, variable name: preferred_name

Question: What is the preferred name of the person with the genetic disorder?

Answer: Joe

Next field, variable name: over_12

Question: Is <preferred_name> over 12 years old?

I want <preferred_name> to fill in with "Joe" when the person taking the survey views it.

Thanks!

You can simply pipe the first field into the field label of the second field using square brackets:

Is [preferred_name] over 12 years old?
