Hello,

I have a survey that was created and activated and data has already been collected. The answer codes (for multiple choice questions) were the default options of A1, A2, A3, etc. I have edited the questions so that they reflect meaningful numbers for data analysis, but when I export my data to a CSV file the old options come up.

Is there a way to update already collected data to the new answer codes?

No, not without directly accessing the database. Far simpler to do a search/replace in the exported CSV.

Cheers,
