Removing Parent Question Response Fields
Updated 3 months ago

Overview

If you have a parent question with sub-questions, and the parent question does not require a response, you can map the file so only the sub-questions get answer fields when the file is imported.

Select the applicable tab for your edition of Responsive.

      • Once the section is marked as reviewed/completed, the Q&A pair will go into the Answer Library (if enabled) and the Parent Question text will display in front of the Sub Question, separated by a colon.

      • Parent questions are displayed in front of the Sub-Questions in the Q&A pair to provide context. If the parent question has its own response field, the link between the Parent Question and Sub-Question via colon will still exist.
        Note: The parent question will automatically be marked as completed once all its sub-questions are marked as complete.
