Important Announcement
We are pleased to announce a significant step in our migration strategy, set to begin on March 27, 2024. In our
continuous effort to enhance and streamline the feedback collection process, we have introduced a new temporary
attribute, is_legacy_comment, to the QuestionObject via the NiceReply API.
What Does This Change Mean?
Our primary objective is to migrate existing comments from the responses section into the Answers section as an "Open ended answer" type question.
Next Steps in Migration
In the forthcoming phase of migration, we will broaden the list of answers in the API endpoints to include a "comment
answer" item, and the comment field will be designated as legacy. Consequently, each existing response that included a
comment will be transferred to answers as an "Open ended answer," preserving all original parameters, including the
question title. The is_legacy_comment attribute will facilitate easy identification of which answer corresponds to an
old comment during the migration process. After a certain period, our plan is to completely eliminate the comment field
and the is_legacy_comment.
Benefits of These Changes
This migration is aimed at providing enhanced flexibility in managing survey questions. You will be able to hide a question, designate it as required, or modify its sequence within the survey. These modifications are intended to elevate the quality and efficiency of the data collection and analysis procedures. We regard this step as crucial in our pursuit of continuous improvement and innovation in the services we offer. We are confident that these changes will lead to a superior user experience and increased efficiency of your surveys.
We express our gratitude for your continued support and cooperation in this migration endeavor.
