HI Anh, several questions: 1) your options for question 1 (is this a listbox, combobox, checkbox group or radio butto group field)? 2) the "Other, please specify", you want this to specifically be a textbox? --David

Hi David, It is a radio button group,with "Other" a text box, that the user can input in their response. Thanks.

HI Anh, there's no way to make a textbox part of the question 1 which is a radio button group. What you can do instead, is create a separate text box and make it "Unhide based on question events" under "Advanced Options". Then you create a question event based on the radio button choice option (Other) and if user chooses Other then it will unhide the textbox for the user to enter data. -- David

Just to add a thought... This is REALLY something that DataSprings should look into developing. It's pretty common functionality. A "radiobuttons-plus-other" -- and "checkboxes-plus-other" and "listbox-plus-other" -- question types would be very well-received by the community. Go, DataSprings! John

Hi John, Are you on Dynamic Forms 3.0? If you are, there is a feature now availabe for comboboxes (dropdowns) where you can type in your response if it is not among the choices provided. Please check out our Demonstrations Page and see Demo #26. Thanks! Candace

Thank you David! Agree with you John! Candace - Great!... only question is, not many people would know they can type their response in.... I didn't until I try typing and it worked. Thanks all!

Hi Anh, It took me a minute to realize that too. In Demo 26, I added a header to the question to give instructions so hopefully that helps. We will continue to look for ways to improve with feedback such as yours and John's. Thanks! Candace
