About This Feature
Overview
Fill in the Blank Question is one of the quiz question types in WPS Forms on Windows. It is used to collect short text input or open-ended responses from respondents. When you create a quiz, you can add a fill-in-the-blank question from the question type area on the left and then configure the question content and related settings in the editing panel.
Core tasks include:
- Add a fill-in-the-blank question: Insert an open-ended question in the quiz module.
- Edit question content: Enter the prompt and adjust the wording.
- Preview the response experience: Check how the question appears before publishing.
- Save and apply settings: Save the question and publish the quiz when needed.
This feature works well for feedback collection, knowledge checks, registration forms, and other text-entry scenarios in forms.

| Capability Summary | Add a fill-in-the-blank question in the quiz module of WPS Forms, then configure settings, preview the result, and save the question in the same editing flow. | Microsoft Forms lets you add a Text question in a quiz and supports required settings, points, and preview. | Google Forms supports Short answer and Paragraph questions, with required settings and response rules. | Notion Forms supports text-property questions, can mark them as Required, and can allow Long answer. | Adobe Acrobat Sign mainly provides Text fields for collecting typed input in signable or data-collection forms rather than a native quiz question type. |
