Let's say I have the following question:
What's your favorite fruit?
a. Apple
b. Banana
c. Cherry
I share the survey and get responses. But I update the 'Cherry' answer choice to the following:
What's your favorite fruit?
a. Apple
b. Banana
c. Melon
Do all previous responses of 'Cherry' stay? Or do they get updated to Melon? Does it matter if I edit and update that Cherry choice? Should I instead delete that option and instead create a new option that says 'Melon'?
Question
If I update answer choices for a Multiple Choice question, do all past/historical responses update?
+30The "Cherry" responses you've already collected would be changed to "Melon" in this scenario. If you want to preserve the integrity of the data you've already collected, I would suggest adding Melon as a fourth choice.
If you do not want Cherry to appear as an option going forward, you can use Display Logic on that choice and use a condition that will never be met, so it never displays. Deleting Cherry would cause those answers to be lost in your data.
