What to do when there are several questions with Other as an Answer Choice

  • Each question in a survey must be unique.

  • This means that you cannot have two or more Open Text questions which are both called If other

  • Therefore adjust the wording of your If Other open text question each time

    • i.e. word it as If you selected Other to [name of question]

    • For example: If you selected Other to what you enjoyed most about the workshop, add what you enjoyed here
