MatrixCheckboxResponse

Defined in: parser/types.ts:571

The MatrixCheckboxResponse interface defines a matrix where each row can select multiple options. questionOptions are rendered as rows, and answerOptions are rendered as columns. Defaults are specified per-row as arrays of selected answer option values.

Example using custom columns (answerOptions):

{
  "id": "multi-custom",
  "prompt": "Which categories do the following items belong to?",
  "location": "aboveStimulus",
  "type": "matrix-checkbox",
  "answerOptions": [
    "Has Legs",
    "Has Wings",
    "Can Swim"
  ],
  "questionOptions": [
    "Dog",
    "Snake",
    "Eagle",
    "Salmon",
    "Platypus"
  ],
  "default": {
    "Dog": ["Has Legs"],
    "Snake": [],
    "Eagle": ["Has Wings"],
    "Salmon": ["Can Swim"],
    "Platypus": ["Has Legs", "Can Swim"]
  }
}
