Hallo
is there any way to default select a question type in the "Question Types list" for every new question in a survey?
We are going to register hundreds of questions, all of the same type (List - radio)

Thanks in advance

As far as I know this is not possible. But a way to do this is copying the question XXX times, so that you only have to change the name and the text of the question.

Same questions as above, except for configuring the alignment option when uploading an image, so that always goes to left.

Thank you!
