How to add "other" option in choice list?

[astanley]

How can I take care of this requirement for a drop down? I have to create a dropdown menu with fixed choices, but the last choice has to be an other option.

1. Other (allow to fill in if Other is selected)
   
   1. Text field is displayed to collect other from user.

Should I just create an other option in the dropdown and then create a text field that will only show if other is selected? How can I do that? In the catalog builder, all I see are the "none" option, and adding other fixed values. I chose "choice" as my question type, and "Dropdown (fixed values)" as my subtype. Any assistance will be much appreciated.

As you mentioned use 'other' an option and show the text field only if the other is selected. You will be able to achieve by using a Ui policy. Select 'other' in condition and build UI policy action .

I also want the entered value in the text variable when 'other' is selected to be added to the drop down list. Is that possible ?

Thanks
