Switch to categorical and allow SCALE to accept letters

1 Initial Problem

SingleChoice Question have a scale. The scale is exported to excel. The scale can only be numbers starting with 1. We often have values for the scale that can't be positive numbers e.g we need a 0 or negative numbers. But what we need most is free text like e.g. "16FF2" or "München" so we get those values in the export file.

2 Conceptual Summary

We would like to have the option to set the scale to free text field. We also want to have an option to allow more than one item to have the same scale.
