Convert Data Entry field to Freeform Question

Jun 16, 2013

I'm using a video to create a "Try It" demonstration and there is name field included that must be answered, but I would like each individual to be able to enter their own name, as opposed to entering "Last Name, First Name" in the field.  Is this possible?

Hi Diane,

The problem I see with converting it to a question is that you'd need to specify correct and incorrect answers. However, you could convert it to Freeform, along with no scoring and no feedback. That way, whatever they enter would be recorded, but it wouldn't score the question and they wouldn't receive an incorrect or correct prompt.

You could then pull their name into other areas using the text variable for the text entry field. 

Would something like this work for you?
