Summary20845: MC question with Other option - interference with condition
Description

I am experiencing an issue with conditional question display
I have created a multiple-choice questions with the built-in Other option activated.
The question is only supposed to appear when a specific condition is met
However, the entire question appears regardless of whether the condition is fulfilled.

I suspect this might be related to the activation of the built-in Other option

Is there a known issue with conditional display when using multiple-choice questions with the built-in Other option?

Are there any known configuration issues or workarounds that could resolve this behaviour?

I am attaching a simple survey structure where I have isolated the problem
first question is used to build the condition on
second (with other option) and third questions (without other option) are both MC questions, and are conditionned to only appear if a certain answer is chosen in the first question

Steps To Reproduce

Set up a multiple choice question with the 'Other option' activated
Put a specific condition on that condition
The condition will not apply when running the survey

TagsNo tags attached.
