Retaking Surveys - Is it possible to limit what Questions a Respondent can Retake?

Hi there, a couple of questions regarding the 'Retake Surveys' option:
1) Can we control which questions a respondent can retake - so only some questions can be retaken, but others are restricted/greyed out?
2) My company creates a new survey year-on-year where some questions will be changed, but not others. I want to allow selected unchanged questions to pre-fill each year into the following year's survey (so if a respondent filled in Chocolate for "What is your favourite snack?", next year it will pre-fill to "Chocolate"). Is it possible to pre-fill these answers for the survey distributed to respondents in the following year?
This may have to be done through JavaScript, but was hoping it could be done more simply :)
Thanks very much!
Luke

1) This can be done through JS, check on each questions which you don't want to edit in retke link that - if Q_URL embedded data contains "Q_R" then apply below code to question.
jQuery("#"+this.questionId).css("pointer-events","none");

2) As you mentioned, yes again this can be done through JS but in some scenario we can use default choice. Store the answers of unchanged questions in contact list, and get it in the survey. If it is open ended just pipe in the answer ED as the default choice of that question, else use JS for other questions.
