Changing Choice Values

You won’t be able to do this via the GUI. You can either recreate the question to match the values you want, or the simplest option is to use recode values.

​@ahmedA That makes sense - i could not identify a way to change it via GUI. Are you aware of any other methods outside of the GUI to change it? We use an API and this is how we caught the issue.

I am open to recreating the question entirely, although it will be a headache for the data we’ve already collected.

Recodes won’t work, since we are using Recode Value seperate from Choice Value in our dashboard we are using to display survey engagement. For example, all options are either “0” or “1” (wrong/right answer) and the choice values indicate which specific option the user chose.

I don’t think so. You could try emptying the question choices and then sending the choice IDs via the API. Maybe that overwrites the existing numbering, it does so in Loop and Merge, so both maybe working the same way.

In dashboard, you can assign same choice value for two different recodes. If you are unable to do that, you can create a new question, then you can merge two question, so that all the data will be recorded in one variable.
