Field Maps - can you add an "Other" choice to combo box/radio button form elements?

Hello, is it possible to add a dynamic "other" option to combo box/radio button choice form elements in a Field Maps form?

Its super helpful to have a list of choices to save time in the field by making the common responses readily available. However, there may be some circumstances where the perfect response to a question cannot be predicted ahead of time and I would like to be able to have a dropdown list of options AND be able to type in a unique response if none of those pre-set options are right. Is this possible?

I believe you can have a conditional text box that only shows if your combo dropdown is "other".

You can add "Other" as a value to your domain. Then perhaps set up your Fieldmap form to have a conditional field to collect what other values the field worker wants to add. This field is only visible if the previous field value is "Ohter".
