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

How can I create multiple conditional questions on my form that report to the same column? so far if I add a new conditional question the form creates a new column, I need to select a given column for all this conditional questions so that the answers are stored in the same column, the column in question is “status” type.
My current workaround is to hide the (many) columns and have a function column that concatenates them so I am left with a single answer or empty if that is the case. But it is not clean and the board is getting really big, not sustainable. Any thoughts ?

As far as I understood you’d like to use our Conditional forms feature, right?

The thing is that conditional logic is only available on the Enterprise plan at the moment.

To learn more, please check the article below:

We have an Enterprise license and this exact same issue. We need to map answers on a conditional question to the same column. Is this a feature I am missing or in the pipeline to implement?

I use my work account that is indeed an enterprise account, please let me know how to implement it. I had to add 26 columns for the conditions and then make a function but then the automations do not accept function columns so I am stuck. Eather Monday includes function columns (with text) on the automations or allow us to assign conditional questions to the same column. I mean preferably both. Anyhow tank you for your time.

The admin for my work says we are on an enterprise plan in Monday.com
Are admin users the only users who have access to create conditional logic within a form?
Are there limitations to the the type of user who can create forms w. conditional logic?

I have the same problem, I am working with conditionals and my board keeps getting bigger when I have more options in my dropdown, is there a way to gather all my answers in a single column?

I would also like to do this. It would be really handy for multi lingual forms.

This feature would be useful to us too. Would love to know if this is on the pipeline…

Yes please! This has to be an upcoming feature!

Is there any update on this?

This would be helpful. I would like to be able to have the answers from the conditional question appear in the “updates” on the task.

Answer: No, that is [still] not currently possible.

It’s a wildly frustrating limitation of the Monday forms tool (WorkForms): you cannot map answers from different questions—conditional or regular—into the same column. It’s absolutely ridiculous and it results in the board that is connected to the form being basically unusable for anything other than collecting responses.

I do have a workaround though, which I described in some detail here. Let me know if you have any questions!

NOTE: The Connect Boards linkage is an optional piece of the solution—whether or not you need that will depend on the specifics of your use case.

Hey @arf, @phalvaei, @Rach12, @phalbrec, @Jih, @RyanM, @isa_rc, @MTCmonz, @Queendev, @Katy

We developed an app called Google Forms Integration Plus that allows getting responses from Google Forms directly monday.com.
Google Forms is free to use and has advanced capabilities that are missing in monday’s forms, and our app offers more flexible and robust logic. It basically solves all the gaps in monday’s forms.

You can easily create items based on form response, here’s how →

You can also update an existing item (by matching the response to the item) →

You can find it in the monday.com marketplace in the platform or here - https://monday.com/marketplace/listing/10000616/google-forms-integration-plus

Hope that helps!
