Any thoughts on how to solve for the scenario when you have a text entry option in a column multi choice question? It makes the buttons sit a little wonky (below).
!



In the past, what I've done is anchored my "other" option to sit where "option 3" is (below), but curious to know if anyone else has another solution!

@RachelTHREE I personally prefer to use a vertical layout rather than columns in this situation. Though a horizontal layout for only 5 items would be totally reasonable.

Would love to see a "multiple row" option built in eventually. seems like the only missing option to me.

@AnthonyR - YES! A multi-row option would be awesome.

In this scenario, I put it into column format for tracking/continuity purposes - this survey in particular had previously been in a multi-row format in a different platform, so the column option is the closest/most similar option.

That being said, I like your suggestion to utilize a vertical layout instead when I run into this in the future - thanks!

@RachelTHREE I can totally understand needing to match an old study for continuity! We do that more often than I am always happy about hah. I may look in to building out some JavaScript to handle a row layout soon!
