Currently, if you design a form, accept a first round of responses, make a change to the form's fields (specifically deleting one field and adding a new field), and accept a second round of responses, the responses in the new field (from round 2) will show up when the form's information is exported, but the responses in the old field (from round 1) are simply deleted and do not appear on the exported Excel sheet.
I want to swap out a short-form text field with a longer-paragraph field as I've realized people need more room to write on a specific form. Currently, the only way I can do that is by hiding (not deleting) the short-form text field and then adding a paragraph field.
It would be wonderful if the settings could be changed so that either the responses from since-deleted fields still just automatically show up on the form export, or if there could be an option, when deleting a field, to choose whether the responses would show up.
