Help:Multiple Choice Add Multiple Answers
HELP PAGE DISCUSSION CLOSE

If you have a long list of answers to one of your multiple choice questions, it can be a burden to have to manually enter each one and add them separately. The Add Multiple Answers section can be used in these situations. If the section window is closed, click on the arrow to open the box and you will see a textarea into which you can type all of your answers. There are two methods that can be used to input your multiple answers, depending on whether each answer has additional information that must be defined.


Enter one answer text per line

The easiest way to quickly enter multiple answers for your question is to type the Answer Text for each answer on its own line in the Multiple Answers text area. When you click the Add Multiple Answers button, it will create an answer choice for each non-empty line you have entered.


Comma separated values (CSV) entry

Often times, you may want a separate Answer Value for each answer choice. These values will then show up in exports of your responses and can often be useful in third party software. In order for our software to know you wish to use the CSV entry type, the first line in the Add Multiple Answers field must be FROM CSV. The field order for multiple choice questions is:

FROM CSV Answer Text,Answer Value

For example, if you want your visitors to select their U.S. state, but want the abbreviation to be provided in any response exports, you would add multiple answers by entering the following into the Add Multiple Answers field:

FROM CSV Alabama,AL Alaska,AK ... Wyoming,WY

Once you click the Add Multiple Answers button, each of these answer choices will be created with the corresponding two-digit abbreviation as the value for this answer choice. The FROM CSV line will be removed before answer choices are added.
