Increase survey question character limit

Meredith Owens

Extend the survey question field to be longer than 100 characters.

100 characters is an incredibly small limit, and seems like it should be super easy to expand. Its not like text takes up a ton of space on the website vs images or video

Wayne Kasel

Agreed. It can be very difficult to properly format and communicate a question with the current character limitiation.

Allow more characters in survey questions

Expand survey abilities to include more characters/descriptions in questions. 100 characters is not enough to adequately ask some questions.

Regarding survey questions, can you please remove the limit of 100 characters? I need to be able to ask a question and include some context behind the question. Current, character limit is not helpful.

There are few HOA/COA questions that can be asked in less than 100 characters.-oops I exceeded it already....

Barry Finlayson

Is extending the field beyond 100 characters still being considered and if so do you know when?

In regards to a comment line: After a yes or no answer it would be helpful to provide a line for a comment on that particular question. I did a work around for this by providing a question with short answer to allow for comments of all questions.

Greg Chandler

The length of the question field needs to be expanded to allow for the writing of reasonable length questions. It is understandable why there is a limit but it should be at a length that allows for questions to be understandable and complete.

Also, the addition of a comments line after each question would be helpful as well.

Meredith Owens

Greg Chandler: Would you please explain your request about a comments line after a survey question in more detail?

Survey worked fine until they limited characters "to promote succintness".  We specifically asked for this, was promised this, and we used it successfully.  This year, in a followup, we could not refine last year survey results to narrow down a major spending decision.  The 100 character limit is nearly useless.  Nearly 50 customers yet HOA express still promotes "Succintness"?   Really?    
Without a google account, you can't do Google Forms.  
Bring back a reasonable character limit.  There's really no good explanation for the limitation that's been provided.  It worked great before...now, its worthless.

Survey questions need to allow for longer length

Bwe Siteowner

We have created surveys but we cannot send them out because the questions are beyond the very limited size allowed for question length. People need to set up a situation and explain in and then ask questions. They can't do that in the limited string size you have allowed. Please increase it. Without this, the survey function is NOT functional....
