Form with many fields

Hi guys,

I have the following problem. I should create a form with answers that must be rated from 1 to 5. Each entry is part of a category.
For example:

Category: category 1

Question 1: rate 1 to 5

Question 2: rate 1 to 5

Category: category 2

Question 1: rate 1 to 5

Question 2: rate 1 to 5

Values from 1 to 5 will be entered via a dropdwon that takes them from a separate sheet.
The final result completes a row inside a results sheet (could it be a JSON of the answers?).
What do you think is the best method to avoid creating too many columns of all the answers in one sheet?

Thanks :pray:t3:

What would you do with the answers afterwards? Do you display them or will you use those values in further calculations?

Would users always have to answer every question?

Hi @ThinhDinh !

I would like to have a json of answers possibly, so that I can then externally create a pdf.

Yes, users have to answer all the questions!

@ThinhDinh have you tried to think of a possible solution?

Maybe @Jeff_Hager could you help us with some workaround?

I just don’t know how to do it :smiling_face_with_tear:

I think you can just store each answer as a column, then use a JSON column to convert it to a JSON object.

There might be alternatives, but if you want users to answer multiple questions then I think it’s straightforward to have to create columns to store them.

Check out the below from @grumo.
The generated forms are stored as a JSON object, as are the the collected responses.
If you want to learn how to do it using JSON, get yourself a copy of the below template and study it.
