How can we create a multi select option in drop down list ? I have a question where user have to select 3 answers from the dropdown list. As the list is big, I can not display all answers after question text.

Hi,

I’ve used selectize to transform a MCMA question in select box format to achieve this in the past, using ED fields to store answers.

@PeeyushBansal  you can avoid code altogether by selecting multiple choice question type “select box” 


You then have to change it to allow multiple answers and then I added the “*” statement to my question to help respondents figure out how to multi select. OR rather than select box you can just you a list and place it into multiple columns so that it doesn’t require as much scrolling.

I did post this (for a different survey and different question) as I had over 100 choices to select from and I wanted users to dynamically narrow them down and multi select. This proposal didn’t work for me but maybe it could be of help to you.
