Trying to edit a list of drop down values - "Edit Multiple Selections" has disappeared...
I am Trying to edit a list of drop down values - "Edit Multiple Selections" has disappeared... How do I restore it? I used it to populate a survey. I have now copied that survey and need to make edits to the list of values. It is 120 values long. I want to replace _enmasse_. Any Ideas?

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.

@Shashi , thanks, while it is awkward editing QSF files directly, those steps did work. do you know why the option disappears.
thanks, I tried that option also and it did not resolve the issue. the edit multiple selections option is still not available.

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._
