Documentation

A person's answer to a question. The record is self-contained: it embeds a snapshot of the question text as it was when answered, so the answer remains intelligible even if the referenced question record is later deleted or unavailable. The question reference is validated by shape (a strongRef), not by target record type, so answers may respond to pool questions, directed asks, or compatible prompt records from other applications.
