The problem that I am encountring, I have created a typeform survey and also created a notion survey table for the answer to be connected later on. all good until here. When doing the connection (mapping) first question in the survey has “Other” option enabled and when mapping the question with the notion field it gives me this notice as indicated in below screenshot. 


also on notion; I have defined the multi select answers;

 

what is the best approach for Others option in the answers. Because user manually has to define their answer, but Notion says it wont be saved in the field. Anybody experience the same? 

looking forward a quick turn on this one :)
have great days folks :)

@arslanemre - one way to get around it is to make Other just another choice - don’t activate the text entry on the question if they choose other. 

use a logic rule that says If they choose the other option, go to a short text question where they enter in the details. 

that way you should be able treat the selection of ‘other’ as a multi select option and capture the text of the responses into another field. 

a kludge but it does/should work
