Hi Folks!

Couldn't find anything else on this. It seems this feature is no longer available.
Is there still an easy way to create a labelset from a (farily long) list I currently have under excel?

Thanks!

How about quick add? You can copy directly from Excel. I don't know what the limit of entries is though.

One other thing: With quick add you can even define the answer code. Just have one column with the answer code and the second column with the answer options. If you copy both columns and paste it into the quick add text field, it usually recognizes the first column as the code and the second one as the answer option. At least for me this worked great.

Man... I thought I probably had missed something obvious... but that is beyond my biggest fears... :whistle: :blush:

I'd never used that "quick add" before. Now I know... and indeed, columns are recognized and can be used to define both answer code and text, beauty!

Thanks for taking the time Holch ;)

Great that his works for you.

The "quick add" was one of the best improvements back in time. Sometimes it is the small things that really make life easier. And that quick add thing is great when you have questions with long lists of answer options.

You just prepare an excel sheet nicely and then just copy from there!
