I would like a textbox to display if a choice is selected in a checklist.
For instance, I have a checklist that asks the respondent to select all the
problems they currently have, with the last choice being "other." If they
select "other," I want the next question to be a textbox where the
respondent can specify what "other" is. Is there a way to do that?
Currently in the "display condition" for the textbox, I have 'Other' =
'Other' (the last choice in the checkbox) but it does not seem to work, as
the textbox shows up regardless whether the respondent selects "other" from
the checklist or not.
If you use the display condition 'Other' = 'Other' this will always return
true as you're comparing two constant string values. You want to check
whether the answer value of the select question is equal to this value -
try drag and dropping the select question into the display condition to
access this value.
