How to Define the Main Question in a Form

The following error message: You have not defined one of the questions to be the main question used to identify this entry to the user. This is usually the ‘title’. The award will not function properly without this” will appear at the top of your Question List if you have not designated any of the questions to appear on the entrant’s Dashboard as the main identifier of that particular entry. Without it, the form will not function correctly. Admins must set one question to be the main question for each award, and this question will be used as the entry title. Note that the question must appear for all entries, regardless of category and must contain an answer.
