Set question labels to match question numbers?

My questions are long and very similar to one another. I have written short question labels as I went along (in the question numbers box), but not question labels. Is there a way to simply reset all question labels to match question numbers/names?

Yeah, perhaps: 1) Export a QSF file of the survey 2) Manipulate the file to set your question labels to match your Question Numbers 3) Import the new QSF file. ...or bribe a coworker to do it manually (copy/paste) for you. :)

I'm not seeing a way to do this in the tool either. How many surveys/questions are there to go through? If there aren't hundreds of questions, a manual copy/paste approach might be your best option here. If you have a large amount of surveys/questions that need to be updated, maybe it's worth trying to come up with something custom?

Hi @Matt_Christie_Walker - thanks. There are hundreds of questions, unfortunately (many conditions in which the same questions are asked of different participants in slightly different ways). When you say something custom, do you mean code of some kind?

Thanks @Matt_Christie_Walker, I will experiment with QSF!
