Hi, i want create a field that is like the checkbox field, however i want one of the options to be “Others” with a specify field like this “Others: _____”. Is it able to be done with the checkbox field? or i should choose another??

Sure you can use a check box field where one of the options is other. Then have a second field that if other is choose it “unhides” and allows / requires the person to enter data.
If you specifically want " Others _______ " what I’ve done it created a graphics for the checkbox which is then a hotspot such that when it’s clicked on the graphics hides and changes to one with a checkbox. So it’s not a true check box in that case but it creates the illusion.
The field then hides again if they uncheck other. I would then have code that blanks out the second field if other is turned off, so that value is not stored.

hi, i used the hide option they u said. is it done like this? i put a “hide paragraph if formula is true” formula in the others field. but seems like the form needs to be refreshed manually everytime the checkbox is selected to see the difference. how do i solve it?

If you’re using formula language just use a @Command([RefreshHideFormala]) (Off the top of my head - something like that)
