> **Deprecated.**

**Deprecated** — where available, prefer the nested `question_answers` array on `POST`/`PATCH /v3/scorecards`, where a select question's `value` replaces the whole selection as a set (the only way to remove a pick, since this resource has no DELETE). This endpoint remains fully supported for existing integrations. 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.
