Create multiple conditional questions on my form that report to the same column

It would be helpful to create multiple conditional questions on my form that report to the same column. Until now, if I add a new conditional question, the form creates a new column, I have to select a given column for all these conditional questions so that the answers are stored in the same column, the column in the question is of type “status”.
My current workaround is to hide the (multiple) columns and use a function column that combines them, so I’m left with one answer or an empty one if that’s the case. But it’s not clean and the board gets really big, unsustainable. Any ideas?
