Issues with Matching drop-down question type

Jul 08, 2013

Hello All,

I had a few problems with Matching drop-down question type.

1. Is there any possibility to increase the width of only the "Match" item drop down list?

2. When we create the question, the options got shuffled under Match drop down list . So can we have an option like "None" for shuffling the options as we had it for the remaining question types (Multiple choice, Multiple response). This was one of our client's requirement "not to shuffle the options".

See the attached screenshot for the reference.

Will appreciate your help..!

Thanks,

Jyothi

Hi there Jyothi,

The answers in the Matching Drop-Down interaction are automatically shuffled by default. Unfortunately, there really isn't a way to change that option at this time. I can understand the reasoning behind the design, but I can also understand why you'd want to provide them in a specific order. 

If you'd like to see more options for this type of question, please consider sharing your request with our development team.

In the meantime, you could always try creating a freeform quiz and simulating drop-down menus, or even using a different type of question that doesn't require shuffling. Not only can you control the shuffling, you'd be able to customize the size of the menu as well. Hopefully that'll be something that will work for you :)

Thanks and good luck with the project Jyothi!
