Upload questions

  • Updated

The upload question type creates a file-select field with a 'Browse...' or 'Choose File' button for file uploads.

1. Upload a photo of your favorite shoes.
type: upload

Details

  • To create an upload question, use the type: upload tag.
  • Upload questions accept only image file types by default. To allow other file types, use the accept tag.
  • Multiple file types can be specified in a comma-separated list format by listing the media type followed by a forward slash (/), the extension type, a comma, and repeating the pattern.
  • You can use the wildcard syntax (*) to allow any extension or file type.
  • Uploaded files are automatically organized into a folder named after the question in the survey file manager. The uploaded file will include the respondent ID for easy identification.

Additional examples

Specifying multiple file types

If multiple specific file types are required, list them as a comma-separated list using the accept tag. Re-visiting the first example, we again ask for an image file of the respondent's favorite shoes, this time allowing only PNG or JPEG files.

1. Upload a photo of your favorite shoes.
type: upload
accept: image/png,image/jpeg

Uploading a non-image file

In the example below, respondents can upload any music file as the '*' specifies that all audio file types are permitted.

FILE. Upload your music file:
