Survey123 Connect Question

[AmandaBeck]

Is there a way to have an "other" option in a dropdown (select one) question type where the user of the survey could either select from the dropdown or select other, to then be able to type in said value? 

I realize this is doable in the web version of Survey123, but looking for a way to do it in Connect Desktop version. 

Thank you!

Very easy to do! All you need to do is add another text question with a dependency where it will only appear if the user select the 'Other' option from the dropdown.

Thank you for your response. How do I set it so that it is dependent on the previous entry for the dropdown?

In the Relevant column of the XLS form, enter an expression like the following:

selected(${question1},'other')

The value in quotes is the name (not label) from your choice list used for the question referenced
