Reference: Working With Answer Choices

1 min read
📖
An answer choice is an option presented to answer a question on a survey.

Only superusers can work with answer choices.

From the Settings page, click “Response Choices” and make sure the “Answer Choices” tab is active. Use this window to view and work with existing answer choices. A group of answer choices is used to make up an answer response group.

Each time new surveys are published, all questions including relevant answer response groups and answer choices are snapshotted. So any changes made won’t affect earlier iterations of the answer choice which may have been used on previous assessments.

Individual answer choices can only be removed if they are not currently assigned to an answer response group.

Rather than individually adding answer choices, you can upload a CSV of them. Use the following format:
