# dependent questions in survey designing

Asked by sandip on 2017-01-05

I am designing a collect mobile survey and wanted a little help. 

Basically, I want a set of different questions to pop up on answering one. for, ex

IS there any conflict/dispute related with this land? **Yes/No**. If **yes** then classify:

 1. Dispute of ownership with the forest department: Attach details and images of documents if any
 2. Dispute with other villagers
 3. Other

I have tried the multilevel code attribute but it isn't helping.

The easiest achieve this functionality is to use a **Boolean** attribute (“Is There a conflict…?”) and then have a code attribute ( “Type of dispute”) that is made **relevant only according to the response** to the Boolean attribute.

So if the Boolean attribute is called *conflict_present* and the code attribute is called *type_of_conflict* then you need to set the  relevance of the *type_of_conflict* according to *conflict_present*, meaning that the type of conflict will only be shown when the *conflict_present* Boolean value is **true** (when the user clicks on yes)
