Forms - Question Types
Questions are added on a form's questions tab (and, for application positions, in each position's Position-specific Questions). Every question has a Question Label and a Required switch; the other options depend on the type.
Types
| Type | Member sees | Options |
|---|---|---|
| Short Text | A one-line text box | Placeholder (optional), Max characters (optional) up to 1024 (the default), Strip markdown, Discord field |
| Long Text (Paragraph) | A multi-line text box | The same, up to 4000 characters (the default) |
| Single Choice (radio buttons) | Pick one | The option list, Allow "Other" |
| Multiple Choice (checkboxes) | Pick any number | The option list, Allow "Other" |
| Dropdown | Pick one from a menu | The option list, Allow "Other" |
| Number | A number | Min Value, Max Value (default 1 to 10) |
| Rating (stars) | Stars | Min Value, Max Value (default 1 to 5) |
| Scale (number range) | A point on a range | Min Value, Max Value (default 1 to 10) |
| Date | A date picker | Include year, Pre-fill from birthday |
| Time | A time picker | |
| Section Header (no answer) | A heading between questions | Section Title only; nothing to answer |
Options in detail
- Strip markdown removes Discord formatting (bold, links and so on) from the saved answer.
- Discord field gives the member a richer editor with emoji, markdown and a character counter, for answers that will be shown in Discord. Its text is posted as written, without template variables.
- Choice options: add options with Add option, reorder them with the arrows and give each a colour. Each option can grant roles (Roles granted for the option): a member who picks it gets those roles when they submit.
- Allow "Other" adds an "Other" choice with a free-text box, limited by "Other" max characters (optional) (up to 1024).
- Include year: when off, the year is optional, which suits birthdays. Pre-fill from birthday fills the date in from the member's saved birthday (from the Birthdays module) when there is one.
Tips
- The order on the questions tab is the order members see. Use section headers to split long forms.
- Choice, number, rating and scale answers are charted on the Analytics tab; text answers are listed.
- Roles granted by answers must be below the bot's highest role.
