Returns individual form answers for a specific question across all form submissions, optionally filtered by date range.

While `findResponses()` returns whole form submissions, `findAnswers()` drills down to the level of a single question — letting you aggregate or analyze the values given for a specific field across many responses.

### Syntax

`findAnswers(question[, from][, until])`

### Parameters

| **Parameter** | **Type**                                  | **Description**                                          |
