HI Daniele,

How are you today?

I’m not sure if I understand your situation. Can you give us more detail?

I’d recommend using question names that are unique so you can determine which group is selected when you configure an event. However, you don’t have to show the question group title or description in the registration form if you don’t want to confuse people. See here: http://www.screencast.com/t/A5409BZEXEy

Does that help?

If you’re trying to differentiate between similarly named questions I have two general suggestions:

1) Add a character to the name of the question e.g. “t” to signify a text type question: “Product(t)” or “Product*”. This is the most simple way.
2) You can look at the source code of the page and identify the question ID which can help you select the correct question:

<input type="checkbox" name="question_id[]" value="131" id="question_id_131">

I don’t have any other suggestions that don’t involve changing EE3 core.

I think Garth is referring to viewing the source of the edit_group and/or the add new_group admin pages.

Alternatively you could modify the core code to include the question ID in the question group manager. One example would be to change line 126 of includes/form-builder/groups/edit_group.php so it reads:

echo '<li><label><input ' . $checked . ' type="checkbox" name="question_id[' . $question->id . ']" value="' . $question->id . '" id="question_id_' . $question->id . '" />' . stripslashes($question->question) . ' - ' . $question->id . '</label></li>';

This idean has its downsides because the question ID may not be recognizable enough for your client, and it requires a core code modification, which will not be fun to maintain.

I like Garth’s first option, and you could make the question label indication invisible to the end user by entering the question as:

Product <span class="hidden-note">- TEXT</span>
Product <span class="hidden-note">- MULTICHECK</span>

Then you hide the note on the front end with a bit of CSS:

.hidden-note {
display:none;
}
