    Hi Brian,

     

    If you add more than 6 options, the choice question will turn into dropdown control automatically.

    Please note that the dropdown control only supports single choice.

     

    New update [July, 2018]

    We have enabled a settings in choice question, so you could manage "dropdown" by yourselves.

     

    Regards,

    Zhongzhong

Once you paste your list, go all the way to the bottom and choose the dots to the right; this will give you an option for dropdown (as opposed to the default of Choice).  Scroll bar has been enabled for the actual dropdown.  Just created one to test and all is good.  Limited characters for options, though

It is frustrating that you cannot start typing and the list is filtered by the characters. Makes it extremely unuser friendly for long lists!

 

surely there's a simple solution for this.
