You can tailor the wording of a survey question for specific projects.
There are two methods:
Separate SurveysOriginals (uses several surveys)
Personalised Wording using Waves (uses a single survey)
The way you tailor the question depends on the type of question it is, i.e. whether it is a Field-based question or a Multiple Choice question
