Condition based on whether "Other" selected in previous multiple choice was created by blocka
My Scenario:

Question1 is multiple choice, with "other" enabled.

I want to show Question 2 only if "Other" is selected.

But when I go to Condition manager, I don't see the answer option "Other" as an item to set a rule against.

What should I do?

Hello, Blocka,

Set the relevance of Question 2 to "!is_empty(Q1_other)"


Best regards
Joffm

Thanks, I tried this, but it didn't work. I've attached my LSS in case I've done something wrong.

Strange, works perfectly.




Did you test with default template?

I realized issue was that I hadn't typed anything into the text box...

But let's say I didn't enter any text into the text box, and I wanted to test the condition based on just the checkbox being selected beside other -- how can I do that?

I'm confused - you are talking about multiple-choices with checkboxes but your sample survey is a list-radio type question.
Cheers,
