Best option to hide question choices in the catalog

GB14 · ‎11-13-2020

What is the best option to hide question choices in the catalog that are no longer valid anymore?

I went through a few articles but still trying to figure out what is the best option without affecting historical data?

Thanks for all your response.

Deactivating isn't an option so I ended up deleting and confirmed the question choice still exists in the old RITMs and it did not impact the historical data.

You can just deactivate the variable. It shouldn't impact the existing records because the values are already populated in mtom table.

We have 10 questions under the variable (select box) and 2 no longer required.

Disabling the variable will hide all questions

Ohh...Then you could just deactivate the choices...If you are talking about choices, it is more easier. Just deactivating those choices would work.

Hi,

Choices for the variables of type select box are stored in question_choice table & unfortunaltey this does not have any Active field.

If is not to be used permanently you can delete it. If it is to be made visible only for certain selections then you can use .addOption() & .removeOption()
