▪The responses are inserted as a single entity and cannot be edited individually. The response lines are greyed out and a single entry containing the list name appears above the list so that you can move or delete the list as a whole. If you want to change a response text you must make the change in the shared list item, but bear in mind that this change will also affect any other questions that use the shared list.

▪The only changes you can make to individual responses once they have been inserted in a question is to assign pictures and factors. These changes apply to the current question only; they do not affect any other questions in which the shared list is used.

▪If you insert a multiple choice shared list into a single response question, the responses in the list are changed to single response types for that question only. If you subsequently change the overall response type for the question, any responses that are defined as multiple choice in the shared list will revert to being multiple choice in the question. Shared responses that are defined as single choice never change their response type.

▪Do not insert more than one shared list into a question as this may result in responses that have duplicate names. If you try to do this, Build issues an error message to this effect. If you need to use more than one shared list for a question, create a new shared list containing all the responses in the two existing lists and use that instead.

▪Do not insert a shared list into a question that already contains ordinary responses, unless those responses are flagged as the special No Answer, Don’t Know, or Refused responses, as this could result in responses with duplicate names.
