For deeply nested structs, the accepted answer's syntax is a little verbose. For example, this :

package main

import (
    "fmt"
)

type Alternative struct {
    Question
    AlternativeName string
}

type Question struct {
    Questionnaire
    QuestionName  string
}

type Questionnaire struct {
    QuestionnaireName string
}

func main() {
    a := Alternative{
        Question: Question{
            Questionnaire: Questionnaire{
                QuestionnaireName: "q",
            },
        },
    }
    fmt.Printf("%v", a)
}

(Go playground)

Could be rewritten like this:

a := Alternative{}
a.QuestionnaireName = "q"
