I have many columns that use multiple select fields. However, there are times that they need an option called “Other” and the ability to type in a new option. This option should not be saved into the list of options. I can add another column and let them type in the option there, but since there are so many of these the table is getting quite bulky.
Is there a way to have a custom field where you can display an option in multiple select but not add it into the list of options?
Or is there another way to accomplish this?
Thank you,

This is not currently possible to my knowledge. A field can’t be both a multi-select and manually edited. It’s one or the other. I can see the value in what you’re seeking, though, so perhaps you should consider requesting it in the Product Suggestions category.

We could also really use a multi-select field with “Other” option.

+1. A multi-select field with “Other” option would be great.

If the user selects "Others", then an additional text field appears where they can provide more details. to that, u will have to add a condition, I shared how you will do that in the GIF.
