Hi, I have some answers to multiple choice questions that won’t fit the field width it seems. Can this be altered?

Hi @JeroenV Happy October! The character limit for multiple choice answer options is 255 characters. We don’t currently have a workaround for adding more characters, I’m afraid. :sob:

If there’s anything else I can answer, please let me know!

Did anyone find a solution here. Super inconvenient and wondering if in the past year there was any work around the 255 character limit.

Hi @lydiamoore I’m afraid we don’t have a workaround for this, but we have shared the feedback with the product team.

Also struggling with this, 255 characters isn’t enough and I’m stuck. If anyone has a workaround I’d love to hear it

This is a very unfortunate limitation - in particular considering the limitations for multi-language solutions….
