Please check if you enabled drop-down setting for the choice question.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. Yes, drop down is definitely selected. Actually, when we view responses they are fine, but when we come to print it out, it prints every available answer and not just the selected one. I'm sure it didn't always do this?

I received confirmation from the product team that the behavior is intentional.

  Hello, I found this thread while searching for the same issue. When you say it's intentional is there a reasoning behind this- I'm not clear on why microsoft would prevent the option of only allowing selected answers to show. Or is that they have/are developing something that will help with this issue- and something we probably have to pay for?

Thank you for the details. I am checking with the product team to see if this is a regression or if it was intended. I will get back to you with any updates I receive.
