Question type guide
Short-text inputs suit brief answers where the set of valid responses cannot be listed safely. They should not be used for long explanations or data that needs strict coding without validation.
This question type is useful when your analysis needs brief names or labels, concise identifiers, short respondent-defined answers. Choose it because it matches the information required, not simply because it is familiar.
Pilot the wording and response controls on a phone. Decide how missing, skipped, other, and not-applicable answers will appear in exports before collection begins.
