## Create a question `client.Questions.New(ctx, body) (*QuestionUnion, error)` **post** `/v5/questions` Create a new question owned by the caller's account. The question is one of six types selected by the required `question_type` discriminator (categorical, rating, number, free_text, form, or timestamp), and each type carries its own `configuration` block; `name` and `prompt` are required for every type. Questions are the reusable units that are grouped into question sets and referenced by rubrics, so create them before assembling a question set. The created question is scoped to the caller's account and records the creating identity. The question type and its configuration are set at creation time and cannot be changed afterward through the update endpoint. ### Parameters - `body QuestionNewParams` - `Question param.Field[QuestionNewParamsQuestionUnion]` -
