Form Questions - 'Other' choice

'Other' choice in a multiple choice question with a text box

Multiple Choice questions support an optional Other response choice, allowing respondents to provide custom answers beyond the predefined selections.

How the Other Option Works

When enabled:

  • An Other option appears alongside the configured answer choices

  • Selecting Other displays a text input field

  • Respondents can enter additional context or a custom response

This helps improve flexibility and ensures users can provide answers that may not fit predefined options.

Enabling the Other Option

While configuring a Multiple Choice question:

  • Enable the Include Other Option setting

Once enabled:

  • The form automatically displays:

    • An “Other” selectable option

    • A text box for additional input when selected

ExampleQuestion:
What tools do you use most frequently?

Options:

  • Slack

  • Teams

  • Zoom

  • Other

If the respondent selects Other, a text field appears allowing them to enter a custom response.
