How do I add a text box to a choice question eg if they choose 'other'

I would like to add a text box option to one of the choices to a question. If they choose 'other' as their answere, how do I add a text box so they can state why

AngelaYO2024 you would need to use branching so that if Other is selected it goes to the follow-on  text question. Otherwise it doesn't and goes to the next question.

      AngelaYO2024 also, if a user clicks the "other" option they can just enter their text answer directly into the field without you needing to build a branching action. However there might be character limits depending on how many other options are in your question.
