Update the answer to a question for a single form response

Note: when updating a form response, the permissions for the phase that the response is in apply to the user that is making the request. It is as if the user were filling out the survey portion of the form with all of the validation rules attached to it.

Request

curl --user "UOFI\exampleUser" --header "X-Api-Version:1" --header "Accept:application/json" --header "Content-Type:application/json" -X PUT -d '[ { "QuestionFieldName": "this_is_a_text_input_box", "AnswerValue": "new value goes here!" } ]' "https://apps.atlas.illinois.edu/FormBuilderService/api/FormResponse/{id}?formId={formId}"

Update the answer to multiple questions for a single form response

Updating multiple answers can be done by adding additional values to the array passed in the body of the request. For example, the following request updates the email_address answer, along with the third row (rows are zero-based indexes) of the Multiple_Questions question.

Request

curl --user "UOFI\exampleUser" --header "X-Api-Version:1" --header "Accept:application/json" --header "Content-Type:application/json" -X PUT -d '[ { "QuestionFieldName": "email_address", "AnswerValue": "me2@example.com" }, { "QuestionFieldName": "Multiple_Questions", "Rows": [ { "RowNumber": 2, "Answers": [ { "QuestionFieldName": "First_Name", "AnswerValue": "barrr" }, { "QuestionFieldName": "Age", "AnswerValue": "43" } ] } ] } ]' "https://apps.atlas.illinois.edu/FormBuilderService/api/FormResponse/{id}?formId={formId}"
