A single-line text block is a question type that provides an editable text box format limited to a single line of text, allowing participants to write their own answer in their own words. The Single-line Text block options are:
  • Require a response: Toggle on/off to require respondents to submit an answer to this question block
  • Show description: Toggle on/off to show/hide text descriptions. Add a text description to the blocks in order to provide additional context to a question block for respondents.
  • Limit max characters: Toggle on/off to enable/disable a maximum character limit for responses
  • Limit min characters: Toggle on/off to enable/disable a minimum character amount for responses
  • Text Placeholder: Enter a text placeholder to display in the response box
  • Use response as “display name”: Toggle on/off to use the response as the “display name” in the result
Tip: Display names are the title of the submission result that will appear in the Explore tab and any exports of results. See the Explore section for more detail.
