Runner Format.

In order for runner to display the MU checkbox with the correct settings, the following schema pattern must be used:

  "answers": [{
    "id": "mandatory-checkbox-answer",
    "mandatory": true,
    "options": [{
            "label": "Cheese",
            "value": "Cheese",
            "q_code": "1"
        },
        {
            "label": "Ham",
            "value": "Ham",
            "q_code": "2"
        },
        {
            "label": "Pineapple",
            "value": "Pineapple",
            "q_code": "3"
        },
        {
            "label": "Tuna",
            "value": "Tuna",
            "q_code": "4"
