Text Import: Automatically cutting off text

Hi all

 

I have a very large survey that I’ve created using the text function, winning!

However, as our workplace is using this to gather client feedback, I want each question to be marked with a UID for easy reference.

It seems that the system is however cutting off this UID, and this is happening whether I put it before my question or after.  Below I’ve shown what my text file looks like and what Typeform has done.

 

 

I found a workaround by placing a word before the code like ‘Can [LM3-1CB] What is the specialisation?’ but this then requires me to go and delete content out of every question.  This also worked once or twice, but when I put it throughout my whole doc it was then removed - perhaps AI thinking I’ve made an error?

 

Is there a better way to force the import to accept this code at the start or end of my question string, please?

 

Thank you

    Hi ​@bsh3p Do you mind sharing the screenshot of what you’re referencing again? I sadly can’t see it here in the post. 😓

    Thanks for the reply Liz

     

    So my logic is setup like this where the question has 2 discrete answers, A & B.

    But if I link A to an ending and B to another ending, it’s still branching to the next question as it seems to need an if else logic (which I don’t understand).

     

     

    This might seem like no big deal, however when I have a very large survey with many branches, these extra branches just confuse the situation and show a path that is actually not possible.

     

    So my workaround has been to link A to AK then put if anything else link to AL, however I prefer each had an exact match as for me, this just seems better to avoid issues if I add or change options.

    Cheers

    Hi ​@bsh3p Thank you! You will definitely need something in the “in all other cases” field, which I would set to whichever ending would be your fail-safe. However, it should be sending to the other logic jumps you have set if it matches the criteria. 

    If that doesn’t work, let me know!
