question.

This document assumes that you have the question object in a variable named question. This is most often achieved in a loop, such as:

[% FOREACH question IN survey.questions; %]

or using a custom template function such as getQuestion:

[% question = getQuestion(id); %]

question.id

Contains the ID # of the question as listed in the survey editor. This is unique across all of your surveys and is used in getQuestion and other custom template functions.

question.type

This variable will be set to 'SuperMatrix' for a Super Matrix question type.
