# Create scorecard question answer option

`POST /v3/scorecard_question_answer_options`

Record that a specific option was selected for a scorecard question answer. Both `scorecard_question_answer_id` and `scorecard_question_option_id` are required, and the option must belong to the same scorecard question as the answer. Use this on `multi_select` questions to add each selected option; for `single_select` an answer should have at most one row, so submit a single POST and delete-and-replace if the selection changes. The free-text portion of the answer (and its `boolean_value` for `yes_no` questions) lives on `/v3/scorecard_question_answers` — this endpoint only records the option link.
