Cannot select more than one answer for a metric with Multicategory Value Type+issue

When updating answer for the Modern Slavery Statement Metric, sometimes it is not possible to register more than an answer option even when the metric values are set to be multicategorical. This has been observed in particular for some of the answers that got a format correction (answers were displayed in square brakets).

 

Cannot select more than one answer for a metric with Multicategory Value Type+Discussion


So here's the issue:

1. The answer to the "does not work" one is "Yes".

2. "Yes" is not a valid option.

3. So when you try to change the cardtype of the +value card to "MultiCategory", it fails a validity check.

4. That means the type won't change, so you don't get the right interface.

 

It looks like we made these self-healing somehow. If you fix the value, the type will be fixed. So the process is

1. Select one of the valid answers.

2. Save

3. Edit again and you'll see the right interface, so you can choose the other valid answer.

Feel free to close this if the process works for you.
