# Referencing Parent Form Responses

Reference responses from a parent form while collecting data.

In Epicollect5, you can reference responses from a parent form while collecting data in a child form by setting the title attribute in the desired parent form question. \
This feature ensures that when you fill out a child form, the response from the parent form is displayed as a reference on the mobile app. \
\
This helps in maintaining context and ensuring accuracy in data collection, streamlining the process of gathering comprehensive and linked data sets.\
\
For example, try the [**EC5 Title as reference**](https://five.epicollect.net/project/ec5-title-as-reference) project on the mobile ap&#x70;**.**
