Unfortunately, Qualtrics takes "edit multiple" away if you've collected any responses for the questionnaire. Inexplicably, Qualtrics doesn't turn it back on even if you *copy* that survey into a new survey with 0 responses. They know about this behavior ("Attention: The Edit Multiple feature is disabled as soon as you collect data on your survey. This is to prevent invalidation of your data. If you copy a survey where this feature has been disabled, the copy will also not contain the Edit Multiple feature." Source: https://www.qualtrics.com/support/survey-platform/survey-module/editing-questions/formatting-questions/)
I'm looking for a workaround for the disappearing "edit multiple" option. I've tried copying the q're to the library and making a new q're from that, but no joy. I've also tried exporting the survey to a .qsf file and tweaking it in a text editor, but my sleuthing to find the right thing to tweak wasn't successful.
Does anybody have a workaround for this frustrating problem?
