Overview
The multi-line question, is a free text (open-ended) question.
This option allows respondents to type their answers in their own words into a text box and allows for longer responses.
This option is typically used to ask respondents for information where the answer options cannot be easily anticipated by the survey author, for example; asking for respondents thoughts and feedback.
If you require a shorter response, you can opt for the single line option.
