I have a multiple choice select_one question in my Survey123 form with several different options for answers. I would like to create a choice called "Other", which allows the user to fill in a text box. Is this possible?
If you add or_other at the end of the type column in the XLSX form when using Survey123 Connect, it will add a text box below the question for the user to specify other. For example in the type column: select_one yes_no or_other.
Great! Is there a way for me to change the label for the "Other" option?
The box that shows with or_other can't be altered.
To have a custom version, add an 'other' choice to your list. Then have a question below for your 'Or other' question and set the relevant value to ${PREVIOUS_QUESTION} = 'other' or similar.
I don't believe so, on my previous comment. There is another way to get this functionality.
The other way is add the choice that you want to have open a textbox in the choices tab. Then make a question with a type of text and use the relevant column for that text question to show the textbox based the answer to a specific question.
For example if the choices for the select_one question are yes, no, or something, and you want the user to specify what something is. Then create the text question underneath with ${nameFieldOfPreviousQuestion} = 'something' in the relevant column.
I have an image of how to use the relevant column below.
