Hello @jdmunter ,



Export the survey from tools option and then import it again. The edit multiple option will appear.



OR find the solution in this thread

Hi @jdmunter ,

You could try making a copy of that question and then check if you get the option of editing multiple. Not sure that this will 100% be the solution. You could just give it a try if refreshing and Re-logging in doesn't work.

_Again if you have started data collection for your survey you wont be able to see the edit multiple option._

hello @jdmunter ,



can you try creating a dummy survey add same question there and check if the option appears there?

---

thanks, I tried that option also and it did not resolve the issue. the edit multiple selections option is still not available.

@Shashi , thanks, while it is awkward editing QSF files directly, those steps did work. do you know why the option disappears.

I've encountered this many times where I published my survey and after collecting the results i want to re-use that survey but the edit multiple disappears even after you copy it to a new one. The way you fix this is to create a new survey and import your old survey into it:



1) Create a new project



2) At the bottom of the default block click on "Import Questions From..."



3) Select your old survey and click "Import Entire Survey"



Now you should have a new survey with the old survey questions and settings the same but now the "Edit Multiple" feature is enabled.



I don't know why they don't just let the edit multiple be enabled after you copy to new, and make you have to go use this work around.
