Copy and pasting multiple choice answers from one question to another?


Hi,

I used to be able to highlight and copy all of the multiple choice answers from one question on one survey to another question on a different survey by highlighting the list underneath the question. However, the answers no longer appear underneath the questions on the left hand side. I cannot copy the list from the question preview. I hoping I am just missing something obvious because we copy and past multiple choice answers between surveys a lot. Please let me know how to do this.

Thanks!

Hey @UBAdmin! Thank you for your explanation! :four_leaf_clover:

The new builder doesn't allow you to see the question and their answers on the left side of your survey.

What you can do in that situation is going to your question, copy the responses and paste them into your new question. Take a look at the gif below: Screen Recording 2021-08-10 at 09.10.08 AM
Do you think this workaround would work for you? Let me know if it helps! I hope it does! :pray_tone2:

Hi @UBAdmin! I'm glad you're here! :hugging:

I'm not sure if I understood your issue. Can you post here a screenshot or a screencast of your problem so I can help you? I promise I'll try my best! :wink:

Thank you!

Hi Gabi! Unfortunately I don’t have a pic of what it used to look like. Before underneath the question was the list of answers. We used to highlight that list and copy it to use it in a different survey. Now there is no longer a list under the question to highlight and copy. Hope I am missing something simple here.

I have the same issue - the workaround now means it takes a lot more effort! Any chance of this feature being revived?
