Get Answers for Matter

GET

/v1/matters/{matter_id}/answers

Get the answers the client gave to the custom questions on the matter, grouped by the pages of the questionnaire and returned in page order.

Every page of the questionnaire is returned (except hidden pages and the asset / income intake pages), whether or not the client has reached it yet. A page with no custom questions returns an empty questions list.

Special answer values:

null - nothing answered yet

"" - answered with an empty value

[] - a PEOPLE_GROUP_BOX answered with nobody selected

active: false marks a "forgotten" answer: a question that is no longer asked on the questionnaire but still has an answer stored from before.

DATE answers are calendar dates (YYYY-MM-DD), not timestamps.
NUMBER answers are returned as strings, exactly as the client entered them.
Labels and answers are text entered by the firm and the client - treat them as untrusted when rendering.
