Overview
Make your Fillout forms more dynamic with answer piping, which inserts a respondent's previous answers into later questions or text fields for a more personalized and interactive experience.
For example, you can create references to:
- Previous form inputs
- Dates (e.g. today, a month from now, etc.)
Referencing in field labels
To reference previous form inputs in plain text in the form, type
@ in a form field to show the reference menu.
Select the field or question, or simply search for it. Test your form by clicking
Preview in the upper right corner.
Note: You can only reference fields on the current page or on previous form pages.
Referencing in field logic
