Summary20460: Request: “Multiple Others” option with dynamic input fields + reusable responses
Description

Hello,
We are submitting this feature request because one of our projects requires advanced functionality related to checkbox-type questions.

  1. “Multiple Others” option for checkbox questions
    We would like to have a new feature allowing the addition of a “Multiple Others” option.
    When selected, users would be able to:

Display one or more free‑text input fields
Add extra fields dynamically using an “Add a line” button (ideally with customizable label)
Enter multiple custom responses that can later be reused individually

  1. Reusing entered responses in other questions
    All selected choices—including each item entered in the “Multiple Others” dynamic fields—should be reusable as answer options in:
  • Other checkbox questions
  • Matrix rows
  • Labels in “multiple text fields” question types

Purpose
This functionality would enable more flexible and adaptive surveys where respondents can generate multiple custom answers that remain usable throughout the questionnaire.
Questions
Could you please indicate:

Whether such a development is feasible within LimeSurvey’s current architecture?
A potential timeline or estimate for when such a feature could become available?

Thank you for considering this request.
