Multi-select with fill in option (aka as "other" option)

Thanks for the release, it would be awesome if we could set the text for "Other". I have a non-English form and so "Other" is very weird now to introduce. The functionality is just what we need 👌🏻

Hey Paul I understand that. It's very weird (UX wise) to provide an option to set the text for each option. So we are working on the language setting feature that will help in non-english form creation easy. You can upvote here to get notified when it's released. https://youform.canny.io/feature-requests/p/allow-adding-mor…

Abhishek , appreciate your fast response! 🙌 I totally get that this is not about full multilanguage options, that's a different ballpark. It would be more like you can already do with the Button text: you can set what it should say and that gives huge flexibility and also immediate minimum support for different languages (I would not have been able to use Youform without it). So I would say if you implement the same for the Other option (just make it possible to select a custom label) you open up a whole set of flexibility here, not just languages but also more flexibility for how you can use your surveys.

Abhishek Hi, same here. Either what Paul said in the following post, or what about this: When check "Other" option, the very last item in the list will be set as "Other" and hence it runs the type-in option? (although you would somehow have to work-around the randomization => or just always in this case have it fixed as last)

Hey Libor the other option currently works the way you are describing. Have you checked enabling the other option from here?

Sep 18, 2024

Abhishek Yeah, but I have the same problem with the multilanguage. I don't want it to be called "Other". I need it to have different label. That's why I though that this could fix it. E.g. I have the item called "Další důvody" (other reasons), check the "Other" option under the list, and automatically, the last item works in a way that when user clicks on it, then they can type in whatever. But a better option would be what Paul said as I had the same idea. But I just wanted to throw something in so you can fix it sooner, as I don't want to have Czech labels together with Other at the end.

Libor Dolezel: Got it. Yeah I will be back with a solution soon

This feature is finally here. Now you can have an "Other" option in your forms and users can input their answers: https://youform.canny.io/changelog/other-option-with-type-in… E.g Form: https://app.youform.com/forms/dzp7h2tt

Me too! I thought this will be integrated in the form and was disappointed not to find it because the product overall is really good! Please fix it :) Edit: Also, if you please could say when will it be fixed, as I need to know whether I can actually use the product in my survey soon. Thank you :)
