This makes your surveys feel more personal and dynamic, and it works seamlessly across both standard forms and quiz mode in Weavely. Here’s how to use this feature in your forms.Documentation Index

What Is Answer Piping?
Answer piping allows you to insert a previous answer into another question or block of text. For example, if your form asks a user for their name, you can reference that name in later questions or confirmation messages like:“How are you doing, [Name]?”
How to Set It Up
- Add your questions to the form as usual.
- In any subsequent question or text block where you want to reuse an answer, type the
@symbol. - A dropdown will appear with all previous questions and (if quiz mode is enabled) quiz score variables.
- Select the field you want to reference.
Real-Time Behavior
- If the referenced answer is on the same screen, an underscore placeholder (
_) is shown initially and is updated in real-time as the user types. - If the referenced answer is on a previous screen, users will immediately see the filled-in response.
Quiz Mode Compatibility
In quiz mode, you can also pipe dynamic quiz scores into later messages or questions. After enabling quiz mode in the form settings, additional variables like@QuizScore will appear in the dropdown.
Example
- Question 1: “What’s your name?”
- Question 2: “How are you doing,
@What’s your name??”
