Hi,
In our application form we've added the question ‘how did you find us’ as an attribute. Is it possible to add an open text or comment to the multiple choice answer options? Like ‘other: ...’?
And how can I change the order of the multiple choice answers without deleting them and creating new answers (which will mess with the data collection)?
Thank you!

Hi
Currently, it’s not possible to add a free text field to a list of option attributes in the application form.
Additionally, re-arranging the order of options is not supported at the moment. The only workaround is to delete an option and re-add it at the end of the list.
Please note that deleting an option will not remove any existing attribute data. However, the deleted option will no longer be available for selection when editing an applicant profile until it is added again. This message is shown if you are about to delete an existing option:
