Add Question Types

All questions are added via the questions dynamic zone in a Questionnaire entry. Click Add a component and select the type you need.

Every question requires at minimum: questionId, groupId, and screen.question (the title shown to the user).

Steps

1. Open your questionnaire in Strapi
2. Scroll to the questions dynamic zone
3. Click Add a component
4. Select the question type (see the guide below)
5. Set questionId (unique within the questionnaire), groupId, and required
6. Configure screen.question with the text the user will see
7. Fill in any type-specific props (e.g., mapValue for radio options, yearRange for dates)
8. Save the questionnaire

Choosing the right type

For yes/no questions

Use BOOLEAN. Renders as Yes/No buttons, stores true/false.

For single choice from a list

Use RADIO for short lists (2-4 options) or DROPDOWN_SINGLE for longer lists (5+ options). Both use props.mapValue to define the options.

For multiple choices

Use CHECKBOX. Same props.mapValue format as RADIO, but allows multiple selections stored as an array.

For dates

Use DATE. Set props.yearRange.min and props.yearRange.max to constrain selectable years.

For free text

Use INPUT for single-line text or TEXT for multi-line. Set props.placeholder for hint text.

For numbers and currency

Use NUMBER for plain numbers or CURRENCY for monetary amounts. Both support props.min and props.max.

For contact information

Use NAME (first + last name), PHONE (with country code), EMAIL_BASIC (simple email), or IBAN (bank account with validation).

For addresses

Use ADDRESS. Renders a multi-field form with autocomplete (Google Maps integration in the app).

For file uploads

Use UPLOAD for a single file or MULTI_UPLOAD for multiple files. Use SIGNATURE_UPLOAD for digital signatures.

For countries

Use COUNTRY_SINGLE (one country) or COUNTRY_MULTI (multiple countries).

For flow control (non-input screens)

Use INTRO (welcome screen), BLOCKER (dead-end), SUCCESS (completion), REDIRECT (external URL), or PROCESSING (loading state).

For checkout

Use CHECKOUT for payment flows (Stripe) or SUBMISSION for non-payment flows. See Configure Checkout.

Specialized types

These types serve specific verticals or flows. They are less common but available when needed:

• EFFECTIVE_DATE_DROPDOWN – dropdown for selecting a policy start date with auto-generated options
• COVERED_GROUP – add/manage a group of covered people (e.g., family members)
• ADD_TO_CART – multi-product bundling in signup flows
• HAS_POLICY – check whether the user already holds an active policy
• CAR_LOOKUP_SPAIN – Spain-specific vehicle lookup
• NUMERIC_CONVERSION – number input with unit conversion
• CANCELLATION_REVIEW – summary/review screen for cancellation flows
• CLAIM_PROCESSING – processing screen for claim submission
• CANCEL_POLICY_PROCESSING – processing screen for policy cancellation

Tip

When unsure which type to use, start with RADIO for selections and INPUT for free text. These are the most flexible and commonly used types.

See Question Types Reference for the complete list of all types and their props.
