Is there a way to add multiple typed entries?


I’m wanting to give the client a way to type 4/5 answers without having to use commas, before progressing onto the next question.

For example; Type 5 words that make you smile?

@Lyonm - unfortunately you can’t have more than one question on a page at a time.. one of the ‘design principles’ of Typeform is to make it more like a conversation (though in our house, there are usually 5-6 questions asked one on top of the other before I get a chance to answer lol… ) 

If you use the short text question you will collect the information you want - it may not be the optimal way to get what you need but it is the most efficient way in Typeform. at this time.

@Lyonm - welcome to the community from another user

just to get some clarification, are you intending to use these entries in any other logic in the survey? if not, you could use a short text question. 

if you are going to parse this string of words to use in some other sort of analysis ie in Google Sheets or something else, that should be sufficient

Hey thanks for the response.

 

I don’t believe so, it’s more to really keep it simplified for clients and us when viewing answers. Instead of having 5 repeated short text questions in a row (that is my current way of solving this issue) I wanted to see if there was a way of having to enter 5 different answers all on the same question page?

 

Hopefully I’m not coming across as to confusing! First time using Typeform :joy:
