About This Feature
Overview
Fill in the Blank Question is a Smart Forms question setup feature in WPS on macOS for relay-style form workflows. It helps you add a text-answer question, adjust its settings, preview the result, and save the updated question in one editing flow.
Core tasks include:
- Open the Fill in the Blank Question entry in the relay editor.
- Configure the question and preview how it will appear.

Overall Conclusion: WPS Fill in the Blank Question is closely aligned with relay-based Smart Forms editing on macOS, making it practical when you want to configure and review a text-answer question in one place.
