Trying to edit a list of drop down values - "Edit Multiple Selections" has disappeared...


jdmunter
I am Trying to edit a list of drop down values - "Edit Multiple Selections" has disappeared... How do I restore it? I used it to populate a survey. I have now copied that survey and need to make edits to the list of values. It is 120 values long. I want to replace _enmasse_. Any Ideas?

Hello @jdmunter , Export the survey from tools option and then import it again. The edit multiple option will appear. OR find the solution in this thread

Hi @jdmunter , You could try making a copy of that question and then check if you get the option of editing multiple. Not sure that this will 100% be the solution. You could just give it a try if refreshing and Re-logging in doesn't work. :) _Again if you have started data collection for your survey you wont be able to see the edit multiple option._

@Shashi , thanks, while it is awkward editing QSF files directly, those steps did work. do you know why the option disappears.

The way you fix this is to create a new survey and import your old survey into it: 1) Create a new project 2) At the bottom of the default block click on "Import Questions From..." 3) Select your old survey and click "Import Entire Survey" Now you should have a new survey with the old survey questions and settings the same but now the "Edit Multiple" feature is enabled. I don't know why they don't just let the edit multiple be enabled after you copy to new, and make you have to go use this work around.
