Multiple choice

The Multiple choice question lets respondents pick from a predefined list of answers. By default, only one answer can be selected — you can switch it to multi-select via the Multiple answers option.

"Give your audience different options to choose from." — UI description

This page documents the fields and options that are specific to the Multiple choice type. For the parts that are common to all question types (header, Question / Description / Add a media, Required toggle, Improve button, Duplicate / Delete), see Questions, Welcome and Thank you.

Answers​

The Multiple choice editor shows a list of answer rows under the question content. Each row is one option the respondent can pick.

By default, two empty rows are shown: Answer A and Answer B. Each row contains:

  • A drag handle on the left to reorder the answer
  • A textbox to type the answer label
  • A delete icon on the right to remove the answer

You must keep at least 2 answers — you can't delete an answer if it would leave you with fewer than 2.

Add an answer​

Click the + Add an answer button at the bottom of the answer list to append a new empty row. New answers are labelled alphabetically: Answer C, Answer D, and so on.

Reorder answers​

Drag a row up or down using the handle on the left to change the answer order shown to the respondent.

Add an "other" input choice​

Next to the Add an answer button is an ○ Add "other" input choice toggle. When enabled, an extra "Other" option appears at the end of the answer list shown to the respondent, with a free-text input where they can type their own answer.

The Other option does not appear as an Answer X row in the editor — it's purely a runtime addition to the rendered survey.

Options menu​

The header of the question has an Options dropdown with three toggles and two action buttons. The toggles all reveal a new section in the question editor when enabled.

Multiple answers​

"Allow users to add multiple answers to this question."

When enabled, respondents can select more than one answer. The behaviour is otherwise the same — no minimum or maximum count is enforced.

Customise buttons​

"Customise the text of the 'next' and 'previous' buttons"

When enabled, a Custom buttons section appears in the editor with two textboxes:

  • Previous — the label of the previous button on the rendered question
  • Next — the label of the next button

Leave them empty to use the survey's defaults.

Conditions (skip logic)​

"Jump from a question to another based on user input."

When enabled, a Conditions section appears at the bottom of the editor. It lets you define branching rules based on the respondent's answer.

Structure of a rule​

Each rule has three parts:

  1. The answer is — the comparison operator. Three options:

    • Equal to selected — the rule matches if the respondent picked exactly the same answers as the ones selected in the rule, no more and no less. (Example: rule = [Pomme, Banane] → matches only if the respondent ticked exactly Pomme and Banane.)
    • Not equal to selected — the rule matches if the respondent picked none of the selected answers. (Example: rule = [Pomme, Banane] → matches if the respondent ticked Cerise alone, but not if they ticked Pomme + Cerise.)
    • Any of these selected (default) — the rule matches if at least one of the answers picked by the respondent is in the rule's selection. (Example: rule = [Pomme, Banane] → matches if the respondent ticked Pomme, or Banane, or both, or Pomme + Cerise.)

  2. Answers — the list of all answer options for this question. Click on each answer to include it in the rule. Selected answers are shown with a blue checkmark.

  3. Jump to — where to send the respondent if the rule matches. The dropdown shows:

    • All other questions in the survey
    • Thank you message
    • An external link (under "Other options") — leaves the survey
    • Close the widget (under "Other options") — abandons the survey

Multiple rules​

Click the Add condition button below a rule to add another IF rule. Rules are evaluated in order.

Otherwise​

The Otherwise block at the bottom defines what happens when none of the rules match. Its only field is a Jump to dropdown with the same options as the per-rule one. Defaults to "Jump to the next question".

Deleting a rule​

Each rule has a small trash icon in the top-right corner. Click it to remove that rule.

Duplicate question​

Creates an exact copy of the question (including its answers, options, and conditions) and inserts it right after the current one.

Delete question​

Permanently removes the question from the survey. There's no confirmation dialog at the time of writing — be careful.
