   • The qsf file will be uploaded and the survey will be created in your QuestionPro account but the logics will not be applied on the survey. QuestionPro does not import any logic present in the qsf file. You can apply the logics on your survey after importing it from the qsf file.

The basic response metadata fields are startDate, endDate, ipAddress, finished, recipientEmail, userLanguage, duration, locationLatitude, and locationLongitude. Except for the given metadata fields, QuestionPro does not import any other fields.
