Symptom

 How to update/add/remove cascading questions in Question Library

Guide to updating a cascading question. In below example, we have a child question type ‘Free Text’. We want to update it to change its name and its type to ‘Multi Choice’. It cannot be done through UI, so this guide shows how to go through the needed steps : Identify, export cascading question, modify csv file, delete existing questions and import cascading question.

Note : updating a question within the library, does not automatically update this question within the requisition (= already added to the requisition).

Environment

SAP SuccessFactors Recruiting Management

Resolution

I wish to edit the "Test A parent multi choice?" question to change its child question "Test A child question text" to a new question with QUESTION_MULTI_CHOICE type.

2. Export the questions

Export the target parent question, it will automatically include the child :
I use "Skip GUID", no need to match any GUID or ID as we will delete it later
