Hi,
I always advice:
Activate the survey, enter some data and have a look at the response table.
Here you see.
A single question with the "other" option creates two columns in the database.
If a "normal" option is chosen, the code is stored
If the "other" option is chosen "-oth_ ios stored in the column (Q1) and the text is stored in "Q1_other".
To display this you have to use the IF function.
Now you have several options:
1. IF the text is empty show the answer option else show the text
{if(is_empty(Q1_other),Q1.shown,Q1_other)}
2. IF the stored code is "-oth-" show the text else show the answer option
{if(Q1=="-oth-",Q1_other,Q1.shown)}
3. If you use numerical codes: IF the stored code is numeric show the answer option else show the text
{if(is_numeric(Q1),Q1.shown,Q1_other)}
