Importing survey from txt: Column option for MultipleChoice

Hi,
I want to build a survey with multiple-choice questions, for which the answers are generated based on a certain algorithm. To automate this process, I'm generating a txt file to import to qualtrics following these guidelines:https://www.qualtrics.com/support/survey-platform/survey-module/survey-tools/import-and-export-surveys/.
These are multiple-choice questions with a relatively long list of answers that I would like to put in columns, but I couldn't find anything explaining if/how I can apply this option in the txt. Does someone know if it can be done and how?
Thanks in advance!

It can't be done. You have to turn on columns after you import.
IMHO, the Qualtrics columns feature isn't very useful because it doesn't adjust to different screen sizes. It just arranges choices into a static number columns.
