      2. Make the question a required field

    The second question will be a validation custom type. To get the custom validation you will need to pipe the information from the email question (first question you setup). Copy the piping information into the confirm email address question. (second question you setup)

      • Make it required

    3. Check the box and click Piped text tab
    4. Pick Survey Question 
    5. Find the Question that is asking for an email
    6. Click Email address
    7. Copy the piping information - It should look like this ${q://QID18/ChoiceTextEntryValue
