Welcome to the community, @aav11242! Changing the select_one question type to the select_multiple question is impossible through the Formbuilder. You could, however, overcome this change by following the instructions outlined below:

  • Download your survey form as XLSForm.
  • Make necessary changes to the question type, i.e., change your question type from select_one to select_multiple.
  • Save the XLSForm.
  • Replace the XLSForm (or upload the XLSForm back to the server).
  • Redeploy.

Be sure to check this out in a dummy project so that you are aware of how the data is stored on the server.
