When to use it

When the list is too long to rank in one go but you still need an honest priority.

Templates that already use it

Question type

What you can set

Fields this block has in the editor, beyond the question text itself:

  • the list of options
  • how many pairs to show

Every block also has these: whether an answer is required, a description under the title and a small eyebrow line above it.

What lands in the answers

A row-and-answer pair for every row of the block.

The inbox shows the answer as it came in; a CSV or XLSX export gives the block one column.
