Choice questions
Choice questions let people pick from options you set. Every option has:
- a label: what respondents see, for example Chennai office.
- a value: what’s stored and exported. It’s made from the label automatically (
chennai_office), and you can edit it.
Keep values stable once responses arrive. Conditions, calculations and exports use the value, so changing a label is safe but changing a value isn’t.
Options: select Add option, or Bulk import (CSV) to load a long list. See Options and bulk import.
Validation rules for all choice questions: Exactly equals, Does not equal, Matches another field.
Dropdown
Section titled “Dropdown”One answer from a collapsed list. Best for long lists such as countries, branches or courses.
Radio Buttons
Section titled “Radio Buttons”One answer, with every option visible. Best for 2–6 options because people can compare them at a glance. The editor offers Show as a dropdown if your list grows long.
Checkboxes
Section titled “Checkboxes”Any number of answers from a visible list. Use Required to demand at least one.
Multi-Select
Section titled “Multi-Select”Any number of answers from a dropdown with search. Best when there are many options and people pick a few.

| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| Pictures | Each option has a picture (Upload a picture) and a label. Add picture option adds one. |
| Answers | One picture or Several. |
| How many (Several only) | Min and Max pictures. “Leave empty for no limit.” |
| Columns | How many pictures per row on wide screens. 3 by default. Phones show fewer. |
| Shape | Square, Wide (4:3) or Tall (3:4). Pictures are cropped to fit. |
| Show labels under pictures | Shows each option’s label below its picture. |
Write a meaningful label for every picture, even if you hide labels: screen readers announce it, and exports show it.
