Question_getLabelsOfLoadedQuestions

//run in questionnaire context
number a = Q2Single;
array b = Q3Multi;
string c = Q4Text;
//...
array loadedQuestions = Question_getLabelsOfLoadedQuestions();
print(loadedQuestions);//{Q2Single,Q3Multi,Q4Text}

Question_loadQuestions

//run in questionnaire context
//Add this line to the top of script to increase performance
Question_loadQuestions({"Q2Single","Q3Multi","Q4Text"});
//then working with Q2Single, Q3Multi, Q4Text as normal

Question_saveQuestions

//Load questions
Dictionary d = Question_loadQuestions ({"Q2Single","Q3Multi","Q4Text"}, new QAS (118108496));
//for load all questions from target qas, use empty at question array: Question_loadQuestions (empty, new QAS (118108496))
print(d);//{"Q2Single": 1, "Q3Multi": {True,False,False,True}, "Q4Text":  string test}
//Create new qas
