How to add text to choices in Survey123 Connect without changing domain label?

AndrewWallick

We have surveys that use coded value domains, and want to keep the coded value the same as the description (or label as I believe it's called in Online). But our users are asking to have text next to each choice explaining what that choice means.

So for example, right now we might have a question with choices:

N, S, E, W

Is it possible to make the answers display as the following, without actually changing the description/label of the domain?

N (North)

S (South)

E (East)

W (West)

I'm pretty sure you can just use the wrong labels in the form as long as the coded value is correct.

E.g. In Connect

• Publish survey with choice list of desired code/description, or otherwise create the layer
• Change the labels in the list and republish the survey 
• You'll get a warning, but should be ok to publish
• Users will see the (incorrect) label in the form but the edit will use the coded value.
• Viewing submitted data will use the actual domain values descriptions on the layer.

Otherwise you can:

• Add a hint to the question 
• Add a guidance hint to the question 
• Add a note question to explain how to fill out one or more questions in the form
