  • By default, the app displays survey question options as buttons when there are only a few choices.

  • This is the standard behavior before any setting changes are made.

2. Enable the Force Drop-Downs setting 0:17

  • Turn on Force Drop-Downs in the survey settings.

  • This setting overrides the default button display and makes option lists appear as drop-down menus instead.

3. Verify the change with a custom option list 0:29

  • Use a custom option list such as 1, 2, 3.

  • After enabling Force Drop-Downs, open the survey and add a new survey item.

  • You should see the options 1, 2, and 3 displayed as drop-downs.

4. Turn the setting off to restore buttons 0:46
