Download questions with references


Hi there

I like to download all the questions in my form with the “question references” to say a spreadsheet. Can I do that?

thanks

Hi @vincenth great question! While we don’t have this option in the builder, you could use our Create API to make this call, which would provide you with all the references. Would that help at all?

Hey @vincenth 

if you are interested in the Responses, you might be more interested by our Responses APIs

In return it will give you an array with all the responses to a form.
Each response will also contain an answers array with each individual answer to each question.
And you can retrieve the ref from each field.

{
  ...
  "items": [
    {
     ...
      "answers": [
        {
          "field": {
            "id": "hVONkQcnSNRj",
            "type": "dropdown",
            "ref": "my_custom_dropdown_reference"
          },
          "type": "text",
          "text": "Job opportunities"
        },
        {
          "field": {
            "id": "RUqkXSeXBXSd",
            "type": "yes_no",
            "ref": "my_custom_yes_no_reference"
          },
          "type": "boolean",
          "boolean": false
        },
      ],
      ...
    },

  ]
}


You can edit ref either via API, as @Liz pointed out. Or in the developers section under ⚙️ > Developers.

Hope it helps,
Nicolas
