Create Templates

How to build valid JSON templates for import.

Written by Exportlab · Updated January 2026

Template Structure

Import expects a template object with a questions array.

name (string) – template name.
description (string) – short description.
questions (array) – list of questions.
version (string, optional) – version number.

Required Fields by Question Type

Most types only need the base fields. Selection and file questions require extra fields.

Type	Required extra fields	Format
select	options	["Option 1", "Option 2"]
multiselect	options	["Option 1", "Option 2"]
file	fileConfig	{"allowedFileTypes": ["image/*"], "maxFileSizeMB": 25, "maxFiles": 3}
All others	None	Base fields only.
