    I can see that you are using Card Forms. In Single Choice field and Multiple Choice field, there's an option to add "Other".

    In the Form Builder, select the field and then click the "Add Other Option".

    Yes, please give an example so that we can further check the function you're looking for.

    I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but please check the following widgets:

    User Contributed Dropdown

    User Contributed Radio Buttons

    User Contributed Checkbox

    Here's a guide on How-to-Add-a-Widget-to-Your-Form.

    We will wait for your reply. Thank you.

    please read the previous thread.

    an example, a multiple choice or dropdown  field that asks what is the biggest challenge in your life right now

    lets say I add in responses for the question with other as a choice

    and the user adds a response to other. can jotform use that other response and automatically add that to future form possible responses

    If I understood correctly you want to allow your users to add a new option to a multiple choice or dropdown field, that other users will be able to see and use. That is possible to achieve with the widgets Jan provided you. 

    User Contributed Dropdown

    User Contributed Checkbox

    User Contributed Radio Buttons

    Did you test those widgets? 

    If you want to achieve something else can you provide us with a Google Form example?
