How to make free text matrix questions using AdvancedFormat code

Hello,
I would like to make a matrix question in which the response options are free text entry. I would like to do this using only the import AdvancedFormat code method (not the point-and-click inside Qualtrics method). For instance, the code below is for a question in matrix format. How could I adjust this code so that it imports as a fill-in-the-blank matrix?
Best,
Audrey

Hi there, I am not seeing a way to use the Advanced Format to import Matrix questions as Text Entry. I think you could either import all the matrix questions and then manually change them to be Text Entry, or go with the TE: Form approach for your question:
