A Short Question collects a brief answer that fits on one line, such as a name, a town or the occasion for an order. For answers that need more room, such as a comment or a description, use a Long Question instead.

Add a Short Question
Open the form in the designer and find Short Question under Input Fields. Click it to add it to the page, or drag it to the spot where it should go. Then type the question in Label. Use Hint Text for an example, so respondents see what kind of answer you expect. Switch on Mark as required if every respondent should answer it.
What respondents see
If you have set a format or a length and the answer does not fit, respondents are told and can correct it before sending the form.

Where answers end up
Each answer is saved with its submission. On the submissions page, the answers to a Short Question sit in their own column, headed by the question’s Label. A short, clear label therefore makes the grid easier to read.
