An import function to create long drop-down menus

Vilma Vainikainen on 10/8/2020 1:22:04 PM
It would save so much time to import selected values when creating a choice-based question with a drop down menu. If there are for instance 250 values to add, filling them one by one takes hours to do. Drop down menus are much more respondent-friendly than open text fields and data quality is better ensured with locked values.

Yes, this would be amazing. Especially if they can be imported from Excel or CSV, or pulled as a lookup from a SharePoint List or Dataverse

Choice questions should allow the creation and updating of options via the API. We should be able to update the msfp_questionchoices column in the msfp_question table with delimited values and designer reflect these updates. Currently, if I modify either the msfp_questionchoices or msfp_otherproperties, the changes aren't reflected in the form. This enhancement would be of immense value when there are many choices to populate.


Same scenario for Likert questions. We should be able to dynamically build these questions via updates through the API.

Hello. It is possible to copy and paste to add a long list options in the drop down list.
Copy the options from Excel and ensure each option have their own cell. Paste all of the options in the first field on the survey and Forms will auto paste the remaining of your options into the drop down list.
