Summary09272: Impossible to use the string "other" as answer code
Description

The 2.05 version doesn't permit to use the string "other" as answer code. It return an error message when you save the whole answers. The error is that "other" is a keyword string.
But in one of the official sample of the EM (in attachment), "other" is used as answer code to permit filtered questions that concers also other option.

I think it's an documentation issue, it's an old survey, and using other in SUB QUESTION code can break Survey activation : see http://bugs.limesurvey.org/view.php?id=8514

ANd better we must fix this in model too (didn't allow it when importing)

Isn't only a documentation issue. How can I implement that EM solution (filtering array item + other option) if I cannot use the "other" string as sub-question/answer code? I think is better to find another keyword (permitted) for this case

I test when importing survey and add 'Other' option in Q2.

It's activated, but we have only one coluln for _other.

It work, but still not clean.

We don't allow other in javascript only, then you can unactivate javascript before submit again ....

I don't know if it's better to allow other or not. At first glance, i think we don't have to allow it in PHP too : because we can gather 2 information in one column, then we have another bug for this.

I agree to Denis. The 'other' option has been disallowed for several years now for the mentioned reasons. Obviously it did not bother too many people for array filtering so I vote for leaving it as it is.
