Feature request

Is your feature request related to a problem?

When creating surveys in PostHog, switching between "Single choice select" and "Multiple choice select" question types currently resets all the configured options. This is frustrating when you've spent time setting up multiple options, especially when managing surveys in multiple languages where you need to recreate the same options across different survey versions.

Describe the solution you'd like

• Preserve all options when switching between Single choice select and Multiple choice select question types, since they share the same underlying structure
• For incompatible question type switches (e.g., from choice questions to rating questions), show a warning popup before clearing options
• This would save significant time during survey creation and reduce the risk of losing work
