Why can't I add "other" option to the multiple choice optiosn in forms?

It seems like it isn't possible anymore to add the "other" option where you can give your own input instead of choosing one of the other multiple choice options above. Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there a way to get this into the form?

    Joris_Noordzij you can still select the Add "Other" option but if you want to capture what that "other" is then you need to add branching to a new text question:

      RobElliott But this doesnt work if you have a question where you can select multiple answers. Is this correct?

        bellinsi that's right, branching doesn't work if you can select multiple answers. The form wouldn't know where to branch to.
