5. Anything else we should know or have? If you have a test form or screenshots or logs, attach below.
If I understand your issue correctly, you can use different select questions where the choices are the same.
e.g.
in your survey sheet you will have
type name
select_one_external options_list select_q_1
select_one_external options_list select_q_2
select_one_external options_list select_q_3
Also, for such a large number of options, it is better to use external choices.
So in your external_choices sheet, you will have
list_name name label::English
options_list item_1 Item One
options_list item_2 Item Two
options_list item_3 Item Three
You can use filtered lists if you have select questions that are dependent ( cascading selects ), this will also improve the performance since all option items don't have to be loaded.
many thanks for your reply ...but it did not work when i use select_one_external option ...
i will be grateful if you have an example sheet for this issue .
Here is a working example that has nine select_one_external questions, each with the same list from the external_choices sheet. The list has more than 20k option items.
You can change the choice filter option to your liking.
