Modify a drilldown questin using survey API

Question

Hello,The survey API documents how to modify multiple choice, matrix and other types of questions.There is no indication about how to modify a drilldown question.Has anybody used the survey API (or any other) to programmatically modify a drilldown question?This is my use case:we run a continous survey for a customer. This survey has several drildown questions to chose related values. Let’s say cities with a store in a state. We provide to the drilldown the list of states and stores, once the client selects the state, the next drilldown only contains stores in that state.Stores in a state can change maybe monthly due to new ones joining the brand or old ones leaving the brand. Every month we must update the mapping table.I want to do that programmatically connected with my customer’s usiness systems. In order to do that I download the mapping table from their business systems, but I cannot see how to push it to update the drilldown question definition. Thanks in advance,

Hi,You cannot modify drilldown choices without invalidating your existing data (seehttps://www.qualtrics.com/support/survey-platform/survey-module/editing-questions/question-types-guide/specialty-questions/drill-down/#Introduction).You should probably look into either in:Supplemental data source :https://www.qualtrics.com/support/survey-platform/survey-module/sds/supplemental-data-sources-basic-overview/Location selector question :https://www.qualtrics.com/support/survey-platform/survey-module/editing-questions/question-types-guide/advanced/location-selector-question/
