Reusable choices - dropdown

If the student ids are numeric, you can put them in the 'Recode Value' column. Recodes values can be exported (may depend on export settings for some file types).

Great-but the import is only bringing in the name column...how do I get the id column to import? There are too many students to manually add in the ids.

Labels are Display and Recode Values....I just switched to Recode Value and it worked! thank you...

One last thing....The import worked but the Recode Value column does not show in the Data & Analysis export. How can I get that to show/

What file type are you exporting? If it is CSV or something similar, select 'Use numeric values'. To see the ids on the Data & Analysis tab you can click the question column header and select 'View as Numeric Values'.

Ok so I ran the export using text and numeric. I now see the recode values but when I export as numeric all of the other values that I want to see as text are now numbers.
Is there a way to just have recode value next to the name and leave all of the other values text? I would need to run multiple exports and merge them together, if I use this method.
