Text entry form field sub-sub-type in Advanced TXT file import

I am creating text files to use to create surveys. Several of the questions will be text entry forms. I would like each form field to be Essay length. Is there a sub-sub-type available to do that? Or a choice sub-type? I have something like the following in my text import file. [[Question:TextEntry:Form]] Feedback to team member (Required) [[Choices]] Member 1 Member 2 Member 3 Member 4 The fields come in with Medium size option set. Lacking a way to define this in the import file, I will have to manually set the field size option which is sub-optimal. If I could set Forced Response that would also be nice.

No. If there were a sub-sub-type it would be [[Question:TE:Form:Essay]], but doesn't work. The only [[Choice]] sub-type is recode. You can't set Force Response with AdvancedText import. The only way to get the import functionality you want is using a .QSF file, but those are very cumbersome to create manually.

I tried Essay also to no avail. I am poke around with the .QSF file now.
