Hi. I am trying to survey the pains customers experience with a certain product and my survey is set up to collect open text responses. As I can't anticipate the number of text entries that each respondent might want to provide, I'm using a form-type question with multiple open text fields. The drawback with this is that it makes the survey experience a bit off-putting since five open text fields can feel daunting. I'm wondering if there's a way to allow respondents to self-determine the number of text entries when they take the survey? Rather than predefining the number of responses that everyone might provide, imagine a button of some sort that the respondent could click to add extra response fields as necessary. Is there a solution for this?

If you want a work around that doesn't involve coding, you can actually do the exact same thing the code does, by creating the fields ahead of time, and under each question ask if they would like to add another response. Just use display/skip logic (whichever you prefer) and jump ahead until the respondent says "no" to add another response. I've done this with applications where I ask the student to provide information about a reference e.g. name, email, relationship, etc., and at the end of each reference I ask if they would like to add another. I usually only make space for 4 references since most students submit 2 or 3.
