Frequently asked questions
If you want to copy questions that contain logic fields, you should select and copy both the main question and the questions within the logic fields.
No, you don't. The copied questions will remain on your clipboard, ready to be pasted again, unless another set of questions are copied to override it.
Yes, you can! Copy the set of questions first, then exit and enter the other template's editor to paste the questions.
No. Copy and paste isn't currently supported in tables. However, you can copy questions one by one by selecting the question text in the table and using standard keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl + C/Ctrl + V on Windows or Cmd + C/Cmd + V on macOS) to paste them outside the table. Please note that copying this way will copy only the question text, not the response type.
