sd_add_question function

Add a Question Template to the Current Document

This function inserts a template for a surveydown question at the current cursor position in the active RStudio document. It supports various question types and automatically removes the function call before inserting the template if it exists in the document.

sd_add_question(type = "mc", chunk = FALSE)

  • "mc": Multiple choice (single selection)
  • "select": Dropdown selection
  • "mc_multiple": Multiple choice (multiple selections)
  • "mc_buttons": Multiple choice with button layout (single selection)
