Mixed data types in questions

Is it possible to have a custom type when using survey 123 connect. Say if the integer value is not available for entry respondent can select "No data available"?

@DianaKyalo By default, if an integer question is left blank, it is given a value of 'Null'.

Does this solve your issue?

Hello Richard.

Not really, I am looking for a solution for this scenario:
When left blank could be for other reasons i.e they do not what to answer ... but the respondent to be able to select "No data available".

As a matter of fact ...have an integer option and select_one combined? Is it possible?
because no research or data has been collected to provide the answer

@DianaKyalo For your scenario I would set the integer question to relevant only if a previous select one question was answered. Such as "Has research or data has been collected?" If the surveyor answers yes then the integer question will appear.

@Richard_Purkis I later went your suggestion and added this; With an integer question with this relevant string-length(${name})<=0 and another select_one question after the integer "Why did you leave the question blank? bla bla " with my preferred choices. If the integer question has a value then the nxt question disappears.
