Details

• To create a set text batch, first provide a descriptive ID for the widget. Then, define an ID for each set text, followed by the text it should display. Use alphanumerics or underscores for the IDs, no spaces allowed.
• Each set text ID can then be piped elsewhere in the survey by including double underscores around the ID — e.g., __SELECTONE__.
• Decorators can be included to modify each set text individually.
• To modify all set texts defined with a set text batch, apply tags directly to the widget.
  • At this time explain, translate, and unchain are supported as decorators or tags.
• Lists and sheets can also be used to define a series of set texts with set text batch. Include the items from tag to specify your source.
