Interface tools: text box available if drop down = "other"

[MCDR929]

Hello,

I'm creating a very simple app to generate a user request.  In one drop-down, I will list several of the common business units that may reach out to us.  However, I'd like to include a drop-down option for "other", which would then activate the ability to type into a text box in order to populate that field. But I only want that text box to be an option if "other" is selected in the drop-down.

I've been unable to figure out how to have a text box present itself conditionally based on drop-down selection.  Any suggestions?

Hi @MCDR929 

The functionality that you're looking for isn't quite there yet. At this point the functionality of updating a text box variable by the app user is not there. However, you can do something like the attached, where there is a checkbox for "Other" that allows the user to update a text box. Not sure what tools you're using to update but I just went the simple route of using Text Input tools and then a Union tool.

Hope this helps
