Better dashboard/UI for assigning scores to different answers

I know we can already make quiz using tally. But the conditional system is way too complicated for what is needed in my context. For context, I am a health practitioner. Sometimes I ask my clients to do screening test to get the gist of their condition. How this screening works: Each answer option will net them different points.What I imagine to be simpler UI: A setting option on the question field which triggers a menu where I can assign different score for different answer, whether it is 1, 2, or 3. Also, sometimes this scoring system applies to more than 10 query items. So I wish I can just copy paste this "scoring" since the answer options for those queries are also the same.Current system:1. I have to pick the query (item number 1)2. I have to pick one of the answer option (answer number 1)3. I have to assign the score4. Duplicate5. I pick a different query (item number 1)6. I pick a different answer (answer number 2)7. Assign the score8. Duplicate9. I pick the query item number 210. I pick answer number 111. Assign the score12. Duplicate13. I pick the query item number 214. I pick answer number 215. Assign the scoreSo, imagine. To finish setting up the scoring only for 2 items, I need 13 steps. These 2 query items only have different "questions", but same answer options and same scoring system. If I can simply assign the score to the answer option (?), I can cut it down to only 4-6 steps.My request is simply a more efficient way to assign scoring for "screening tests". What I describe was just an example.

Hi Silih, Thanks a lot for sharing this — I can definitely see how your setup can become quite complex, especially with scoring across multiple questions with the same structure. To help you find the most efficient workaround for your specific setup, could you please reach out to us at: 👉 https://tally.so/support If you can share a bit more detail about your form (and, most important, the form link), we’ll be happy to help you simplify the logic and suggest a setup that reduces the number of steps as much as possible. Looking forward to helping you streamline this! If you have any other questions or need further assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out!

I still think a better UI will serve better because the more scoring conditions you add, it becomes unbelievably long. It's more convenient to work with two windows, one showing the conditions/scoring logic, one showing the form (so I can read the questions).

I've sent a request to the support, but I don't believe there is any other workaround to make this simpler. The group logic for now only provides AND and OR. What I need is something like: IF answers from question 1-9 is A, each question should net 1 point. IF answers from question 1-9 is B, each question should net 2 points. IF answers from question 1-9 is C, each question should net 3 points. Well, basically I need the same scoring system for all items. Of course unless I missed something.

To finish setting up the scoring only for 2 items, I need 15 steps. Another thing to note: These 2 query items only have different "questions", but same answer options and same scoring system. If I can simply assign the score to the answer option (?), I can cut it down to only 4-6 steps. My request is simply a more efficient way to assign scoring for "screening tests".
