Is there a way to edit options, specifically add in an option, without just having  to create an all new question? I have a drill down but anticipate needing to add in an option roughly once a month. I don’t love the idea of making a new question every time and then having to field edit combine - I feel like there should be an easier way to go about this.

Hi,

Not sure if you had already seen this but take a look at section 15 here https://www.qualtrics.com/support/survey-platform/survey-module/editing-questions/question-types-guide/specialty-questions/drill-down/#SettingUpADrillDownQuestion

Warning: You cannot update the answer choices after you have collected responses without invalidating the previously collected data. Two possible workarounds include creating a copy of the survey before you update the answer choices to avoid invalidating any data, or creating a new drill-down question with the updated answer choices and using display logic or advanced question randomization to hide the previous question.

@kgillis,

There isn’t a way to add options without creating a new question. One alternative is to create your own drilldown question using JS.
