Survey123 Web Designer multiple select dropdowns

ZenMasterZeke — Wed, 24 Sep 2025 15:26:24 GMT

Can someone explain this? In the Survey123 Web Designer documentation, the Dropdown description appears to say it's used in multiple choice questions, but only one choice can be selected?? How is that multiple choice? I have a list of 84 counties that I want users to be able to select one or more counties from. Displaying all counties on the form with checkboxes (the default multiple select view) isn't very appealing.

This would be simple in Survey123 Connect (minimal appearance), but unfortunately I'm constrained to the web designer for this survey. Is there a way to have multiple select questions in a dropdown style in web designer? Thanks.

Is your statement "constrained to the web" mean that the form is only going to be accessed through the web app? Because you can still design in Connect for the web.

Or do you mean for whatever reason, you have to design in the web interface?

I have to use the Web Designer. Out of my hands. Thanks @Neal_t_k

I am having the opposite problem. I want to constrain participants to only be able to choose one option. I found this that says I can: Understanding Multiple-Choice Questions in Survey1... - Esri Community, except I'm not seeing those options underneath the validation option. If it were there though, sounds like it would solve both of our problems.

@BoardsSupport For a multi-select add these two constraints.
