Choice component values from User input

The first thing to understand is that a choice component can only be populated from a column - not from a row. What you are trying to do won’t work. You need a single column with a choice in each row.

With that said, it is possible to build a dynamic choice list. Here is how I have done it:

  • Start off with a single choice, call it ‘Other’
  • Add two input components:
    • A choice component, which uses your choice list as a source
    • A text entry component
  • The text entry component should only be shown when the user selects ‘Other’ from the choice component
  • Whatever the user enters into the text entry component is added to the list of choices using an Add Row action
