Choices Sheet

The choices sheet is where you define the options shown in select_one and select_multiple questions from the survey sheet. Each group of options is part of a list, identified by the list_name column.

☑️ Required columns

  • list_name – The name of the choice list (used in the survey sheet).

  • name – The internal code for the choice (used in saved data and calculations).

  • label – The text shown to users for each option.

🔘️ Optional columns

You can include the following optional columns to enhance how choices behave:

rating Use this column to assign a score or value to each choice. Helpful for scoring or calculations based on the selected option.

type Used to mark a choice as special. For example, if set to other, the form will allow the user to enter a custom answer when that option is selected. If left blank, the choice behaves like a normal option.

hint You can provide additional guidance for each choice. These hints appear as helper text next to the option. This is useful when options might need clarification.

You can also use multilingual versions like hint::French (fr-FR) or hint::Spanish (es).

Example: choices with rating, choice_type, and hint
