This is reached by using the "Add responses" toolbar button, from the "Responses" tab in the Entry details window for variables.
This allows you to copy a range of answers from other entries.
After an entry is chosen with Entry choose, you will be asked for the range of answers to use, see Select range. This also allows you to select "Negative" references.
If the entry chosen has responses then the selected range of responses will be copied to variable and the definition for these responses will refer to the relevant response in that entry.
If the entry chosen has a value (integer) then the selected range of responses will be used as the text and the definition for these responses will refer to the relevant answer in that entry. The score value for the new responses will also be set to the value.
This means combining each response with the same response from other entries. A common example would be to get an "Any mention of ..." from a list of questions with the same response list.
To do this you select more than one entry and combine the definitions using AND or OR. You can also use "(" and ")" to set the order of evaluation for each response.
If more than one entry is selected then the response texts and other settings will be taken from the first entry selected as described above. The first entry range selected will also determine how many responses are created in the variable.
A list of the entries and ranges selected so far is shown in a list view.
