Hello

Assuming this question is for text entry question type. We can make use of default choice or use JS to set the empty text entry boxes with no response text in on page submit function.

@MikeW that is useful to know for the export function What about being able to see the seen but unanswered question in dashboards and for example report satisfaction on the graph for those who seen but not answered the question?
