    how to change the text that shows up in the text field when you select the "Other" option. Right now that text reads "please type another option here". That wording could be confusing for the individual filling out the form. How would I go about changing that text?

    Greetings,

    If I understand it correctly, depends on the form owner needs, it is not always necessary that "Other" option to show the message "Please type another option here"

    If you are referring to hide the input text box and so that it will not show the message "Please type another option here", than you can try using custom CSS, by targeting the "other" option field id and make it hidden.

    Find field(s) id

    Inject custom CSS on form

    #input_3, #other_3_input {
     visibility: hidden;
     height: 0px;
    }
