Internal placeholders

Reference question answers in another question

In Forms, Form Sections and Assign Tasks, you reference the answer to a question in another question inside of the same form via the internal placeholders feature.

note

Workflow placeholders always begin with a "$" while internal placeholders will always begin with a "!"

For example, you can set up a question to as "What is your name?" and then use the answer to that question to fill in the question text of question such as "Hi !{name.answer}, how many people are in your company?"

You can then reference the answer the user types in the question text of another answer like this:
