How to Customize Yes/No Questions

Learn how to add and customize Yes/No questions in Yay! Forms: edit the question and description, require an answer, and branch your form based on the response.

Yes/No is the fastest question to answer in Yay! Forms: two options, one click. Use it for binary decisions, consent checks, and as the trigger for conditional paths in your form.

In this article you’ll learn how to add a Yes/No question, edit its text, and configure its settings.

When to use a Yes/No question

Use Yes/No when the answer really is binary: “Do you currently use a form builder?”, “Would you like to receive our newsletter?”. It’s also the natural companion for conditional logic: send “Yes” respondents down one path and “No” respondents down another.

If you need more nuance than yes or no, use a Multiple choice question instead.

Add a Yes/No question

Click + Add question in the left sidebar and pick Yes/No under Choices.

If the question needs context (for example, what exactly the respondent is agreeing to), add it in the optional description field below.

Question settings

Yes/No questions keep settings simple: turn on Required in the right panel to prevent respondents from skipping the question. An asterisk appears at the end of the question line, and the form won’t advance until an answer is picked.
