Recall reuses an available answer or value in later text so a form can refer to information already supplied.

Steps

  1. Identify the earlier answer or saved variable you want to reference.
  2. Use @ in an eligible question text or description field and choose a suggestion from the current recall picker.
    Choose a supported field from the recall picker rather than inventing a placeholder.
  3. Preview a normal answer and a missing answer. Keep the surrounding text understandable when the source is empty.
    The editor token names a variable. Preview and submit synthetic paths to verify its resolved value.

Check before you rely on it

Recall displays a value; it does not generate a score, validate identity, or authorize access.

If you need help

Do not copy placeholder syntax from an old screenshot. Use the picker and test the actual result.

Contact support with the relevant screen, time, and a redacted description. Keep credentials and private respondent information out of screenshots.
