Hi,

I have a choice component with pre-defined items…for example, 5, 10, 15…  
If users want to key in the number aside from the three pre-defined ones, what is best way to go about?

Thanks

I’m not sure if this is the best way, but what you could probably do is add a number entry component, and then use a submit button with a custom action. If the number entry is not empty, then write that value. Otherwise write the value from your choice component.

Voce pode criar uma uma outra opção na choice alem dos numeros 5, 10, 15 inserir um componente text entry e configurar a vibilidade para a mostrar somente quando a opção desejada alem dos numeros na choice for escolhida.
