Hi
I have submitted my survey and the respondents are answering. I just realised that two questions need to be rectified. Can I do this? I tried to edit, but it would only allow me to edit questions and not the radio list.

Hi,
what do you want to do with the radio list?
You can change the answer text, add new answer options, remove answer options.
These things don't affect the structure of the answer table.

But - of course - you cannot change the type of question.

So if your changes are not possible in the active survey, the first thing is to export your data.
Then you deactivate the survey - the data are stored as "lime_old_survey_[surveyID]_[datetime]"
Apply your changes.
Activate.
In "Answers / Statistic" there is a button "Import". Here you can try to import the saved data. This works if the changes are not too many.

Best is to export your survey as *.lsa and import again.
In this copy you may try.
