All form components can:

  • Change the ID of the component
  • Change the question being asked (and whether a question appears at all)
  • Add in a description to add context to the question
  • Select whether your customers must answer this question to proceed
  • Specific to the multiple-choice, you can:
  • Select whether your customers can select multiple options or a single option
  • Add in extra options by selecting "Add Option."

  • Change the display (what customers see as the answers) and the value (what is stored in your data). These are the same as the default.

  • Add in an "Other" option that gives your customers the option to add in free text.

  • Change how the multiple choice looks.
