Other Box of Long Text Field Does Not Allow Data Input

    I have just created my first card and have needed to put an OTHER option in a multiple-choice question - it's not allowing any text to be written here though, is this possible?

    Hi Aliza,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. If you can share the link to your form, I can check it out and see what’s going on. When I added the Long Text field and Other option to it, I entered data successfully in the Other box. Please check out the screencast to see my result:

    Once we hear back from you, we'll be able to move forward with a solution.

    Hi Brandon, thank you for your response - here is the link to the form. The question I am looking at is in multiple choice format, the final selection is OTHER however it won't allow any text once selected.

    Hi Aliza,

    Thanks for getting back to us. I couldn't replicate the issue on my end. Check out the screencast below:

    Once you click on the Other option, you can type there. I have cleared your form cache. It always comes in handy if the issue is caused by a small glitch. Can you go ahead and try again?

    Let us know if you need any more help.
