Survey question mandatory on condition

[sunilsargam]

if survey question is 'are you satisfied or not satisfied' 

and if use select Not Satisfied - then  "Give additional info" question comes which is mandatory

I want to show this question even if satisfied but in this case, it should be non mandatory.

Is this feasible in servicenow surveys

It would be nice if you could share screenshots how that script is written, where etc it's written.

Hi @sunilsargam ,

Yes, this is feasible in ServiceNow surveys, and it can be handled using the configuration available on the survey question record (table: asmt_metric).

You can control both visibility and mandatory behavior using these fields:

Key fields to use

• Displayed when → controls when the question is shown
• Depends on → defines the parent question it relies on
• Mandatory → controls whether the question is required

---

 How to achieve your requirement

• Configure the “Give additional info” question to always be visible (or based on your condition using Displayed when)
• Use Depends on to link it to the satisfaction question
• Then control Mandatory based on the condition:
  • When answer = Not Satisfied → make it mandatory
  • When answer = Satisfied → keep it non-mandatory

@sunilsargam 

not possible to handle the mandatory logic dynamically

Only visibility can be controlled via "Depends on"

Workaround

-> create 2 identical questions

-> Q2 Depends on Question 1="Not Satisfied" and keep this Mandatory

-> Q3 Always visible (no dependency) and keep optional

Controlling Mandatory of Survey question based on other Survey question in same Survey
